360-90-162-00-001000

Rectangular connectors are an integral part of electronic machines and devices. They serve as a standard connector used for electrical signals and power supply. The type of connector classification includes headers, specialty pin, among others. 360-90-162-00-001000 is one type of rectangular connectors which fall under headers and specialty pins. It is widely used in flexible and miniaturized applications where space is of prime consideration.

A 360-90-162-00-001000 header has slim design which makes it a perfect choice for many applications requiring a thin profile. The number of pins, pitch, and stack height of the connector vary based on the specific function of usage. This type of header is also able to maintain a secure and reliable connection because of its self-locking feature. Moreover, the lead-free solderable thick silver-plated contacts ensure robust performance even with extreme environment.

Uses of the 360-90-162-00-001000 header include portable data communication, game controllers, as well as a range of consumer electronic products due to its small size and low profile. In addition, its hermetic housing and superior contact retention force, along with a plated retention force withstand vibrations or fluids from outside the application. It is also capable of withstanding temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius during reflow process.

The working principle of the 360-90-162-00-001000 connector is based on electrical contact between the mating terminals. Contact between two mating terminals is established through friction or press-fit contact. During assembly, the female terminal holds the male terminal firmly in position with mandatory contact pressure to the contact pins. This allows a secure connection between two circuit boards and ensures a low contact resistance and superior signal integrity.

In conclusion, the use of the 360-90-162-00-001000 connector offers users a wide variety of pin and pitch configurations in a miniaturized design. Its slim design and self-locking feature make it an ideal choice for flexible and miniaturized applications where space is limited. Furthermore, its hermetic housing and superior contact retention force ensure reliable electrical contact between two mating terminals.
