68710-040

Rectangular connectors, also commonly referred to as headers, offer the flexibility of a multitude of wiring options. Utilizing male pins (or female pins depending on the installation), these rectangular connectors allow you to connect different components, as well as utilize already existing installed options.

68710-040 Application Field and Working Principle

The 68710-040 is a unique type of rectangular connector. This type of connector is designed to rapidly interchange components from multiple different sources. This particular connector is composed of a plug with two rows of pins, with the second row being slightly bowed. In this manner it is able to accept the compact size of inputs from other components and allows for components to be briefly joined and disconnected at will.

The 68710-040 is applicable for telecommunications, networking equipment, and other applications where rapid connection and disconnection of components is required. This type of connector is extremely flexible and can easily be used in many complex applications.

The 68710-040 operates by connecting several pins along a row in the plug with corresponding pins along a row in a receptacle. As these pins are engaged, they make a mechanical connection, allowing for power to pass through. As these components are briefly engaged, what results is a temporary connection that allows components to be switched quickly and in a reliable manner.

This type of connector is not only extremely practical and useful, but also very secure. It is built with a robust construction, making it difficult to accidentally disconnect a device or component. It also features several insulation rings to protect against external contaminants and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
