399-90-160-10-009000

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins have become increasingly popular in the recent past for their strong interconnectivity and flexibility in installation. The 399-90-160-10-009000 model, in particular, is a miniature male connector with dimensions of 10mm x 8mm and hold up to 10 pins. The versatile design allows it to be used in a wide range of applications.

Application Fields

The 399-90-160-10-009000 model is popular for its application across multiple fields, owing to its small size and high power connectivity. Such applications include computer systems, consumer electronics, instrumentation, medical equipment, point-of-sale terminals, and communication systems.

The small size of the model ensures that it can be used discreetly within confined spaces. Many times, when designing electronic circuits, it is necessary to preserve a component’s form for a certain design aesthetic as well. Therefore, the small size of the 399-90-160-10-009000 model can lend itself well to this purpose as well.

The high power connectivity of this connector is another attractive feature of it that allows it to be used for more demanding applications. The unit has a structured double row design, equipped with two internal turrets and is rated to hold a maximum current of 2.1A.

Working Principle

At the mechanical level, the 399-90-160-10-009000 model consists of two parts: the contacts, and the bodies. Since the objective of any header model is to provide an optimal connection, the quality of the contacts is of paramount importance.

The contacts are made from high quality phosphor bronze and have a gold plating. Such contacts ensure optimal current transfer and high solderability. Each contact comes with an integral locking spring, which ensures a secure mating and unmating mechanism. The bodies, on the other hand, are made from Nylon 6/6, in a black color.

At the electrical level, the 399-90-160-10-009000 model bridges the gap between two electronic components, and provides an optimal isolation barrier between them. As the contacts operate in an alternating, non-simultaneous AC current, the working current of this model is rated at 10A.

The connectivity of this model is further augmented by the fact that it is compatible with multiple industry standard connectors like Molex-type connectors, JST connectors, and other similar connections.

In addition to its interconnectivity capabilities, the 399-90-160-10-009000 model also offers other perks to its users. The unit is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor, and extended lifespan applications. It also offers a high grade of flexibility and can be easily modified according to the particular use-case of the user.

In conclusion, the 399-90-160-10-009000 model of Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins offers a neat combination of features that makes it a popular choice across multiple application fields. The top-grade contacts ensure an optimal level of current transfer, and it’s highly adaptable design allows it to be used in a variety of situations.
