53254-0810

Rectangular Connectors, also known as Headers, Male Pins, and Board-to-Wire Connectors are a type of electrical connectors which have been developed for electronic and electrical equipment. These connectors are typically used to join two or more circuit boards together in order to make an electrical connection. The 53254-0810 connector is a high-density vertical design board header with male pins. It is a two part connector ideal for use in high frequency or high density applications.

Mechanical Characteristics

The 53254-0810 connector offers a robust construction which features a wide spacing between contact positions. The male contacts feature a secure positive locking design, which makes them suitable for high vibration applications, and a generous insulation which once again facilitates reliable operation. The contacts are 0.4mm in diameter, while the connector is designed to operate at temperatures ranging from -55° to +105° C. It has a current rating of 2A and an insulation resistance of 1000M ohm.

Applications

The 53254-0810 connector is used in applications such as:

• Instrumentation – sensors, chart recorders, multi-meters etc.
• Industrial Control – motor starters, controllers, PLC’s etc.
• Consumer Electronics – printers, projectors, DVD/Blu-Ray players etc.
• Medical Equipment – X-ray machines, lasers, MRI’s etc.
• Aerospace – aircraft, rockets, satellites etc.
• Telecommunications – routers, modems, base stations etc.

Working Principle

The 53254-0810 connector works by forming an electrical connection between two or more circuit boards. The male pins, which are typically positioned at the board edge, provide the connection when inserted into the female socket on the other board. The contact pressure between the two corresponding pins maintains the connection, providing a reliable electrical connection.

The 53254-0810 connector also features a secure clamping design which provides additional stability should the two connectors need to be physically joined together as well as electrically connected. This is usually the case in applications such as industrial control, instrumentation or anywhere involving high vibration.

Conclusion

To summarize, the 53254-0810 connector is a vertical board header with male pins which is used to join two or more circuit boards together in order to form an electrical connection. The connector is robust and suitable for high vibration applications, with a wide spacing between contact positions and a secure positive locking design. It offers a current rating of 2A, an insulation resistance of 1000M ohm and temperature rating of -55° to +105° C. It is suitable for a variety of applications, ranging from instrumentation and industrial control, to consumer electronics, medical equipment, aerospace and telecommunications.
