350759-3

Rectangular connectors, particularly headers, receptacles and female sockets, are often used in applications that require the exchange of electrical signals. The types of signals they can exchange can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of connector, configuration and number of pins, and environment in which it is used. One particular type of rectangular connector, the 350759-3, has certain aspects that make it ideal for specific applications.

The 350759-3 is a rectangular 10 pin (5 row by 2) header that is designed to mate with printed circuit boards (PCB). It employs two different types of contacts – standard and 3.96 mm (.156”) square pins – for the power and signal lines. It has a single-piece stamped construction and does not require any additional connectors or tools; the contacts are formed from the edge contact. This connector is often used in a variety of applications, including automotive, industrial control, audio, and other medical/scientific/electronics equipment.

The 350759-3 connector is designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions, making it well suited to use in harsh conditions. It is particularly well suited for use in rugged industrial applications where vibration is present or where there is a need to control heat and dust. Additionally, the 350759-3 connector is approved by the FBHS and carries a UL and CSA rating, making it a reliable choice for applications requiring UL and CSA certification.

The 350759-3 rectangular connector works according to the same principles of operation as many other rectangular connectors. The contacts are arranged along the longitudinal side of the connector and the pins fit into the corresponding sockets, ensuring a secure connection. The device is typically soldered directly to the PCB, and the signal and power lines of the connector are connected to the designated pins of the PCB. The contacts are then tightened to ensure a tight and secure connection. Once the connections are made, the contacts feature a self-cleaning action, minimizing the need for additional cleaning or maintenance. The connector also features a solid housing that ensures the connection remains secure even when subjected to vibration and environmental conditions.

In addition to its rugged reliability and ease of use, the 350759-3 connector is economical, both in terms of its cost and its energy efficiency. Since the connector’s contacts are soldered directly to the PCB, additional cost and energy savings are achieved by not having to purchase additional tools, wires, or other components. Additionally, the connector’s contacts and housing are designed to minimize interference with the signal or power lines, resulting in stronger signals and less power consumption.

The 350759-3 rectangular connector is an excellent choice for applications requiring reliability, cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and ruggedness. It is an ideal option for automotive, industrial, medical, and other electronic applications. Its features make it particularly suitable for harsh or rugged environments where vibration may be present, and its ability to minimize interference results in strong signals and lower power consumption.
