638232-1

638232-1, also understands as AMP header / plug connector, is a header and plug assembly. It is one kind of rectangular connectors which also includes headers, and male pins.

The 638232-1 connector system consists of 2 parts - a male header and female plug. It was designed with double-row and a 3.96 mm pitch, which is typically used on edge cases. The key benefit of 638232-1 connector is the excellent mating and un-mating connective reliability.

The main application for 638232-1 connectors is for internal connection to a circuit board. It also comes with a variety of insert and housing layouts that supports a wide array of different contact configurations, such as 2- or 3-contact to 8-contact configurations. The two contact rows are connected by two pins. Male pins are arranged in two rows parallel to each other at a 3.96 mm centre to centre distance.

These 638232-1 connectors also come with pre-molded wires. The female header also boasts an insulation displacement contact (IDC) on the top of the contact, allowing for a secure and fast connection.

When it comes to 638232-1’s working principle, the connection of the components is done by simply inserting the plug into the header. This simple and straightforward process is done in a single movement, and no extra tools are required to assemble or disassemble. The contacts are self-locking and are thus held together firmly.

638232-1 connectors also have good electrical characteristics in terms of impedance, low contact resistance, and good current loading. It is also vibration-resistant and resistant to shock, meaning that its connection won’t loosen during use or transport.

In conclusion, 638232-1 are rectangular connectors primarily used on edge cases. It consists of 2 parts - a header and a plug assembly. The advantage of 638232-1 connectors is the excellent mating and un-mating connection reliability. The key application of this connector system is for internal connection to a circuit board, and it can support a wide array of contact configurations. It also has good electrical characteristics and vibration-resistance, making it a popular choice for many applications.
