Rectangular connectors are components used for electronic circuits, electronic components, and actuators in both industrial and consumer applications. The common types of rectangular connectors are headers, specialty pin, and rectangular connectors, all of which are designed for reliable connectivity and long-term performance. In particular, the 335-40-146-00-100000 application field and working principle, is a type of rectangular connectors.

Purpose of Use

335-40-146-00-100000 is used as an interconnect for boards or panels. It require flexibility and a good resistance to shock, vibration, and temperature. The contact interface technology provides superior electrical performance under temperature cycling and long-term exposure to extreme temperatures. Besides, it can also provide reliable power and signal interconnects in industrial systems, harsh environments, and portable devices.

Features and Benefits

The 335-40-146-00-100000 features a 0.100 inch centerline, two to twenty positions, and a patented shrouded interface for the board mount version. This size is small and easily installs onto the PC board. Furthermore, the shrouded interface provides top-side protection and prevents misalignment and up to 2.7A of current per contact.

Another advantage of the 335-40-146-00-100000 is its customizable features with a variety of options such as gold plating, contact configurations, mounting standoffs, and mounting brackets. By customizing the features, the buyer can easily meet their application requirements with the best possible design.

Working Principle

The 335-40-146-00-100000 is designed to operate with minimal contact force, with higher forces possible for very reliable connections. Low contact force maximises life of the contact and minimises printed circuit board wear. Since the contacts are maintained in a slightly expanded position for reliable connections, the risk of accidental disconnection is eliminated.

The contact mechanism consists of a bridge pin, which is held in position by two coils located in the lower portion of the connector. The bridge pin is first inserted in a pre-inserted position, and then when the connector is mated with the mating connector, both the coils expand and the two bridge pins move outwards and make contact with the mating contacts. This expansion also forces the contacts of the connectors to move back and make a more reliable contact.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 335-40-146-00-100000 is a type of rectangular connectors which is used for interconnects between boards or panels. It provides superior electrical performance and customizable features to suit different applications. Moreover, its working principle consists of a bridge pin which is held in position by two coils, which expands upon connecting with the mating connector.
