373-10-160-00-001101 Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Specialty Pin

Rectangular Connector - Headers, Specialty Pin are designed as fastening elements, essential to the secure and robust joining of a wide variety of devices in a diverse number of applications. This type of product is also included alongside other versions such as field wireable connectors, board-to-board connectors and panel mountable connectors in the ‘rectangular connector’ family as a whole.

Rectangular Connector – Headers, Specialty Pin are key components in the engineering of any system that requires both electrical and mechanical power transfer or signal routing. Generally, this type connects two or more mating components or boards, equipped with either female or male contacts, easily and firmly via a mechanical locking mechanism.

The rectangular connector – headers, specialty Pin with the part number 373-10-160-00-001101 consists of a high pressure die cast zinc alloy body and features a pin attachment option. This type of connector is especially designed for harsh environment applications that require high dielectric strength as well as reliable performance in all weather conditions. It also complies with many other standards: RoHS, UL 94V-0, EMI/EMC and EN60950-1.

Functionally, a rectangular plug does not differ much between other connectors. However, it features such advanced features as increased electrical continuity and signal integrity thanks to its ‘square edged’ design. Aside from signal integrity, the typical rectangular connector plug also provides secure mechanical retention force and prevents the connector from loosening due to its latch-lock mechanism.

The 373-10-160-00-001101 is a specialty type of rectangular connector – header and is typically rated for a current carrying capacity of up to 10 A and built to a 1.27mm Pitch size. It features 12 pins in each row, and is suitable for transportation, radio communications, broadcast and medical machines, as well as other applications where reliability and high durability are a must.

Overall, the 373-10-160-00-001101 rectangular connector – header is designed to be a reliable and cost-effective interconnects for the purpose of power, signal and communication cable connection. It consolidates multiple signals into single and offers greater design flexibility, reduced assembly times and enables the rolling-out of products much faster than before.

In addition, the 373-10-160-00-001101 is also an ideal connector for most commercial applications that require low to medium density connections in a more compact space. It is size-compatible and interchangeable with standard rectangular connector solutions, making it very easy to install and repair.
