5111008-1

The 5111008-1 header is part of a range of rectangular connectors, providing an interface between electronic devices and electrical systems. It’s a two part header, featuring a male part, which is inserted into the device, and a female part, which is used to connect the device to a system or board. They are a popular choice for applications such as instrumentation, telecommunications, data processing, and industrial automation.

The 5111008-1 header comes with up to three rows of polarized pin tracks, along with solder tails and shrouded mating edges. It’s designed for high mating force and secure operation under high vibration conditions. The high level of mechanical stability ensures a reliable electrical connection between the board and the device, while eliminating the possibility of accidental disconnection.

The pin tracks and mating rail profiles of the 5111008-1 are arranged in a stepped pattern, which allows the header to work with boards of different thicknesses and heights. This also ensures that the board is correctly secured and held in place. The pins have hump shaped mating caps, which provide flexibility when connecting the device to the board. They also allow easy insertion and removal of the connector, even in tight spaces.

The principle of operation for the 5111008-1 header is fairly straightforward. When the male part is inserted into the device, the pin tracks are aligned with the matching bottom contacts on the female part. As the male part is pushed further in, the pins mate with the contacts on the female side, creating a secure electrical connection. The solder tails on the male part are then inserted into the matching holes on the board, creating a reliable connection between the device and the board.

The 5111008-1 header is a popular choice for a wide range of applications, from medical equipment and instrumentation, to telecommunications and industrial automation. Its high mating forces, secure grip, and flexibility make it well-suited for applications where space is limited, and where a reliable electrical connection is necessary. The header’s stepped pattern also makes it a natural choice for applications with boards of varying thicknesses and heights.
