464-10-216-00-580000

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are widely used in electronic devices. The 464-10-216-00-580000 is an example of such a connector.

Application Field

464-10-216-00-580000 connectors are used in multiple industries and applications including HVAC, Industrial Controls, Medical Devices and Portables, Automotive, Apparel and Textiles, Communications, Consumer Products, Office and Computer, etc. The connectors are employed in all these applications due to their multiple advantages like consistent contact, very low resistance, easy mounting, good vibration resistance, and long service life.

Working Principle

The 464-10-216-00-580000 are male pin connectors. They consist of two parts the mating connector and the male pins. The mating connector features an insulating housing with two or more slots in which the male pins are inserted. The male pins are insulated metal conductors which serve as the electrical contacts. They are also referred to as headers. To establish an electrical connection, the male pins are inserted into the slots in the connector housing. When the male pins and the mating connector are mated, the electrical contacts are established.

During the mating of the female connector and the male pin, the contact spots on the male pin contact the pad on the mating connector providing a highly reliable electrical connection. The contact force provides a good connection since it increases the surface contact area of the male pin and the mating connector. Furthermore, it increases contact reliability by preventing arcing.

The insulation between the male pins is maintained by a plastic body. The gap between the male pins is designed to meet the dielectric requirements. Such insulation is essential to ensure high power transfers without creating high voltage arcs. The overall construction has a number of advantages like good electrical performance, physical stability, robustness, low weight, and low cost.

Conclusion

The 464-10-216-00-580000 male pin connectors are highly reliable components employed in various industries and applications. They consist of a female connector housing and male pin electrical contacts. The contacts establish an electrical connection between the mating connectors as the male pins inserted into the slots in the connector housing. Insulation is maintained by the plastic housing. The advantages of these connectors include consistent contact, low resistance, easy mounting, good vibration resistance, and long service life.
