5-174821-4

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, 5-174821-4 is one of the many types of electrical connectors available in the market. There are a variety of header connector families including but not limited to single, double and triple row versions. The 5-174821-4 offers a more secure connection than other headers as it is constructed with a 2-piece design that locks the male pins and prevents them from disconnecting or coming loose during operation. The 5-174821-4 also offers superior strength and durability due to its design that allows for greater resistance to vibration and shock while in use.

The 5-174821-4 is primarily used to connect two electrical sub-systems in applications such as automotive, medical, and industrial electronics. It is often found in applications requiring a high level of reliability such as in motor control systems and control devices. This type of connector is also popular in harsh environments such as in off-road vehicles, on construction sites, and in academic laboratories.

In terms of its actual working principle, the 5-174821-4 operates by using a two-piece design that includes the header body and the male pins. The header body is equipped with through-holes that are used to insert the male pins into. Once the male pins are inserted, they are locked in place by a spring loaded latch. This technology makes the connection secure and reliable and provides protection from vibration and shock. The male pins also have gold plating along the contact area that offers greater conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Overall, the 5-174821-4 is a highly reliable electrical connector that has proven to be a great asset in a number of applications. It is able to securely connect two electrical systems together and provides superior protection from vibration and shock. Additionally, its gold plated contact area provides great electrical conductivity and offers protection from corrosion.
