4-102976-0-16

4-102976-0-16 rectangular connectors are a type of headers and male pins. These connectors are usually employed for applications involving the pinning and transfer of electrical power and signals between circuits. Depending on the application they are being used in, they may also be known as rectifier connectors, grounding connectors and low-current connections.

The head of the connector is the part attached to a power or signal supply. This is usually composed of a metal housing that protect the electrical contacts when not in use. The male pins are the part that plugs into the source, and sometimes include a ground tab for external earth grounding.

The rectangular pins accept a maximum wire thickness depending on the size and type. For 4-102976-0-16 rectangular connectors, this can range from 22 to 28 AWG in diameter. The approximate pin length can vary depending on the model, but is typically between 3 and 4 millimeters.

4-102976-0-16 connectors are known for their reliability and durability. The internal components of the connector are designed with anti-corrosion materials and wax-filled cavities. This ensures that the necessary electrical connections are not compromised over time. The connectors can also withstand intense vibration and shock, making them suitable for outdoor applications.

The main working principle of 4-102976-0-16 connectors is based on the electrical connection made between the two terminals. This is achieved when two metal blades or pins (male pins) are pushed into the female counterpart (female connector). This creates a secure connection through which electrical current and signals can travel.

In certain applications, additional measures may required to maintain the integrity of the connection. For example, popular methods include abrasion resistance, soldering, and tinning. These processes further ensure that the connector remains corrosion free and can reliably transmit power and signals for long periods of time.

4-102976-0-16 rectangular connectors are commonly used for applications involving lighting, indoor equipment, networking equipment, power tools and automotive devices. The smallest wire size, known as the “14 pico type”, is particularly suitable for wire to board design. It typically comprises one or two rows of pins with an appropriate pitch.

Overall, 4-102976-0-16 connectors provide an efficient and reliable way for connecting devices to the same or different power sources. The wide range of available sizes and types, as well as their robustness in diverse settings, make them a popular choice for a variety of applications.
