334-10-159-00-000000

Rectangular Connectors, like those with the designation 334-10-159-00-000000, allow for the secure yet easily accessed transmission of both power and signal through the connector. It is mainly used in high reliability applications, such as aerospace, defense, and medical, where connector reliability is highly critical. The 334-10-159-00-000000 is primarily a Header specialty pin, meaning it is a subshell type connector that carries signal and power contacts that are not hemispherically shaped, and consequently can offer higher mounting densities compared to other circular connectors.The most common use for a Header is when working with Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Its mating surface is typically a combination of stacked metallic blades which provide an electrically steady connection. Typical applications include PC board stacking, board to board connections, piggy-backing, memory connections, general interconnections, and the like. The blades are coated with anodized gold and connected to ground, thus withstanding corrosion and resistance to vibration. A header’s mating interface is typically wedge-lock type, resulting in a secure and reliable connection once engaged.The working principle of the 334-10-159-00-000000 is based on the First Connector principle and the contact force technology. The former is often referred to as ‘single connector’ technology as only one connector is used, instead of multiple pins. Primarily, the hold-down system and the force control unit are used for making a secure connection. It works by combining a U-shaped milled crimp, which applies the clamping force, and a force control unit which controls the level of applied force when the connector is mated. This system allows the transfer of both power and signal without the risk of electrical interference or accidental disconnect.The design of the 334-10-159-00-000000 connector takes into account various aspects such as size, current carrying capacity, durability, and the number of contacts. It also has specific features such as quick attach functions, hermetic sealing, and support for multiple connection types. Furthermore, the pin diameter is typically between 0.95 and 1.0 mm, while the pin pitch is 0.9 to 1.3 mm. The contact force used ranges from 0.5N to 5N, while the current rating varies from 7A to 40 A. Moreover, the insulation rating of the pins is usually between 1KV and 5KV.In conclusion, Rectangular Connectors, such as the 334-10-159-00-000000 header specialty pin, are a reliable way to transmit both power and signal. Through its efficient design, it is able to provide a secure and reliable connection via its wedgelock type design, that is quick and easy to attach. Its current carrying capacity, insulation rating, and contact force can be varied as per the application’s requirements, making it a versatile solution that is often used in high reliability applications such as aerospace, defense, and medical.
