Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular connectors are vital components used to bridge the gap between two components, allowing them to communicate instantaneously. Commonly known as headers, male pins and other names, these connectors connect a variety of circuit boards, components, and other electrical devices to allow information to be passed between them. The 351-10-106-00-004000 application field and working principle are unique, and must be understood for safe and efficient use.

Overview

The 351-10-106-00-004000 connector is a single row, single piece isolated header with an 11-pin thru-hole design. The connector is manufactured with a robust plastic body to offer superior strain relief and a maximum current rating of 10A. It features a low profile design with a 2.54mm (0.1in) centerline. This power connector is preferred when minimal space or weight requirements are a prime consideration.

Materials and Plating

The 351-10-106-00-004000 connector is available in two different materials dependent on the required application. Precious metal plated options offer superior performance for carrying signals, while tin plated variants are ideal for carrying power. The pins have a gold-plated finish which offers superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. The headers are also rated for high-temperature and low-temperature operation and can withstand temperatures ranging from -55°C to 150°C.

Mounting Method

The 351-10-106-00-004000 connector is intented to be mounted via Soldering or Wave Soldering methods, depending on the requirements of the application. Soldering requires a soldering iron or appropriate soldering device to connect the pins with the header itself before its low-profile design makes it possible to secure it to the PCB. Wave soldering is a process where a wave is sent through the connectors, allowing a fast, reliable, and automated connection. This ensures the highest quality electrical phase continuity for the connection.

Applications

The 351-10-106-00-004000 connector is used in a variety of different applications in the fields of automotive, industrial and commercial electronics, and consumer electronics. It is often used as a signal or power transfer connector, making it ideal for connecting PCBs or other components. In addition to this, it is suitable for use as a mechanical fastener, such as in computers and other electronic control units.

Safety

To ensure the safety and quality of the connection, the 351-10-106-00-004000 connector should only be used with compatible connectors. When connecting the connector to any other header or pin, make sure that it is compatible and rated for the same application and voltage as the intended port. Furthermore, any attempt to use the connector with incompatible components or components that are not rated for the same voltage could cause serious and premature failures.

Conclusion

The 351-10-106-00-004000 connector is a single row, single piece isolated header with an 11-pin thru-hole design, and is suitable for a wide range of applications in the fields of automotive, industrial and commercial electronics, and consumer electronics. It offers superior strain relief and maximum current ratings of 10A, while its gold-plated contacts offer superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. In order to ensure optimum service life, safety, and quality of connection, it must be used with compatible connectors and pins, and must be rated for the same application and voltage as the intended port.
