Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Specialty Pin

480-10-226-00-001101 is a type of rectangular connector mainly used in the fields of industrial, medical, military, and commercial applications. It is a two part connector, consists of a plastic housing and a metal pin, with a polarized design that can only be installed in the correct orientation while providing secure contact.

It is designed for applications with higher density requirements and there are several variations to meet different needs. Key features include an impedance-controlled environment, standoff, single contact, board-lock retention, ninety degree keying option, and stackable headers.

Application

480-10-226-00-001101 connectors can be used in a variety of applications, including computers, medical and dental applications, physical therapy, veterinary medicine, robotics, industrial automation equipment, and military applications. This rectangular connector is designed for higher density circuit boards, which require more interface points than traditional square pin connectors.

The polarized design of the connector ensures correct insertion of the pin and improved contact reliability even when the connector is subjected to vibrations or EMI. Additionally, it is rated for up to 600V and 15A depending on the size of the pins. It is suitable for a wide range of temperature from -55C to 125C and has rated insulation resistance of at least 1000 MΩ at 500VDC.

Working Principle

When using 480-10-226-00-001101 rectangular connector, the user must align the metal pins of the connector with the corresponding female contacts on the mating board. The user can complete the mating by carefully pressing the connector until it locks in place. The pins of the connector will then make contact with the female connectors on the board, thereby providing a secure connection.

The connector features board-lock retention and a ninety degree keying option for added security in high density applications. The pins can also be aligned in a single contact or stand-off mode, depending on the design requirements. The connector is designed for easy assembly with minimal force, while still providing reliable contact in the mating board.

Conclusion

480-10-226-00-001101 is an ideal solution for high density circuit board applications. This connector features a polarized design with board-lock retention and ninety degree keying for secure contact, as well as an impedance-controlled environment for improved reliability. With a wide temperature range, rated load current and insulation resistance, and easy installation, this connector offers reliable performance for a variety of applications.
