351-10-151-00-017101 Datasheet/PDFRectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - 351-10-151-00-017101 Application Field and Working Principle
Rectangular connectors are important components when it comes to creating a reliable electrical connection. Rectangular connectors with header, male pins are used in the particular area of data transmission applications such as PCBs, computers, servers, and telecommunication networks. 351-10-151-00-017101 connectors are designed to provide a reliable and strong connection between two communication points, as well as reliable signal transmission.
The 351-10-151-00-017101 connector is a type of header pin plug-and-socket device featuring a two-pole header and two male pins. The connector has a 10 mm × 8 mm dimension package, with 0.64 mm pin pitch. This connector is designed for wire-to-wire connections, and features an isolated channel for the power connection.
Principle of Operation
The working principle of the 351-10-151-00-017101 connector is based on the insertion mechanism of the male pin into the female header. The pin is held in place by a locking tab which prevents accidental disconnection. When the male pin is inserted, the pin’s spring-loaded lands pass through the slots of the female header, making an electrical connection. The locking tab also serves as a ground connection.
Once the pins are engaged, the locking tab is pushed in, preventing the pin from being pulled out. To disconnect the connector, the locking tab must be released and the pin pulled out of the female header. The lock tab helps ensure a reliable electrical connection and prevents accidental disconnection.
Applications
The 351-10-151-00-017101 connector is mainly used for PCB connections, motor and power control devices, and telecommunications. It is suitable for general industrial, commercial, or automotive applications. It is typically used in combination with other connectors to create a complete wired connection system. Due to its locking mechanism, it is ideal for power connections as it helps ensure that the pins remain securely connected.
The connector is also designed to withstand the stresses of frequent connections and disconnections. The male pin is made of gold-plated brass pins which provide increased durability and resistance to corrosion. The locking tab ensures the stability of the connections, even under heavy use.
Conclusion
The 351-10-151-00-017101 connector is a reliable and robust electrical connection system for PCB, computer, and telecommunications applications. The male pin is designed to be inserted into the female header to ensure an electrical connection. The locking tab ensures a reliable connection, and prevents accidental disconnection. The connector is ideal for power connections as it can withstand the frequent connections and disconnections associated with these applications.
