414-43-222-41-117000

Rectangular connectors, including headers, receptacles, and female sockets, are a class of electronic components often used for signal and power connections in a variety of applications. In particular, the model number 414-43-222-41-117000 is a 1.778 mm pitch cable-to-board connector with a power rating of 4A and an insulation resistance of 1000MΩ. That model, as with other rectangular connectors, has two main components: the female contact and the mating header.

The female contact is the part of the connector that is inserted into the printed circuit board (PCB). It consists of a thermoplastic casing which is attached to the mating contacts within the connector, and is either directly soldered to the PCB or press-fit into a mounting hole in the board. The female contact is electrically connected to the circuit on the board. This model, in particular, features a polarization that prevents insertion of the contact in the wrong orientation.

The mating header is the component that plugs into the female contact. It is typically made of metal, plastic, or both, and has a variety of contacts depending on the application. The header contains pins, pins with solder points, or sockets arranged in a specific pattern—in the case of the 414-43-222-41-117000, this is a 2 x 18 arrangement. The pins/sockets will mate with the contact that is mounted on the PCB or other component.

Typically, a rectangular connector is a two-piece device with contacts that are mated by inserting one portion into another. The purpose of the connectors is to create a robust and reliable connection between two components. The assembly is soldered in place, providing a secure and dependable connection that is not vulnerable to the elements. For example, the model 414-43-222-41-117000 has a rated electrical life of 100 cycles and can handle 4A of current.

Rectangular connectors are often used for paralleling, bridging, or connecting devices in complex circuit designs. Their compact size and the ability to insert them easily into printed-circuit boards make them a great choice for a variety of customized applications. Furthermore, the shape of the connector allows for various types of contact options, which makes them suitable for a variety of system designs. This model, for example, comes with optional pins with solder points, or sockets, providing further flexibility in terms of design.

In summary, the model 414-43-222-41-117000 is a 1.778 mm pitch cable-to-board connector, with a power rating of 4A and insulation resistance of 1000MΩ. The connector consists of two parts—the female contact and the mating header. The female contact is soldered or press-fit into the PCB, while the header contains pins or sockets that mate with the contact. Rectangular connectors are a great choice for a variety of applications due to their compact size, and ability to be easily inserted into a PCB.
