Terminals - PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors are special connector components in the electronics industry which are used for connecting wires and cables to electronic circuits and for other electric functions. 714-87-161-31-018101 is one such type of connector, with its various application fields and working principles.

The 714-87-161-31-018101 is a type of plug wire-to-board connector system, with its pair designed with a high current and voltage capacity, and a locking system that prevents accidental uncoupling or disconnection. It has been designed for use with equipment requiring frequent connecting and disconnecting operations such as data and communication systems, computer systems, telecommunications installations, power supplies, medical equipment, and other electronic industrial applications.

The 714-87-161-31-018101 consists of a pair of connectors, with the plug and receptacle parts both having two rows of plug pins or connectors, with each row consisting of an even numbered pin count of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 30, 36, and 40 pins. The plug pins are arranged in two sets and the receptacle side has two opposing arrays of spring contact pins that make electrical contact with the plug pins. The receptacle housing can either be finger operated, or, depending on the mounting space, slam-shut or cam operated.

The plug terminals are constructed of contact resizing and termination forms such as in-line terminal pins, box-block terminals, and even pin headers. This enables the connector to be connected to a variety of generic printed circuit boards and to pre-mounted and pre-ties connections on standard boards.

The working principle of the 714-87-161-31-018101 is fairly simple, based on the principle of a locking contact between the plug pins and receptacle contacts. When the plug is inserted into the receptacle, the plug pins come into contact with the spring contact pins. As the plug pins and receptacle contacts meet, they come into contact with each other and then the locking mechanism of the connector engages, locking the two together to form an electrical connection that is sturdy and rigid.

Overall, the 714-87-161-31-018101 is an effective and reliable terminal - PC Pin Receptacle, Socket Connector which is suitable for a variety of electronic applications. As its design permits the connection of different PCBs with spring contact pins, and its locking mechanism ensures the strength of the electrical connection, it has found wide acceptance within the electronics industry and is becoming a popular choice of connector for various applications.
