77313-101-64 Datasheet/PDFThe 77313-101-64 is a Rectangular Connector - Header, Male Pin designed for easy installation and wiring in different enclosed or outdoor applications. This connector is approved by the UL 1994 standard. Compared to traditional connectors, this rectangular connector is more compact and suitable for applications with small mounting space. The 77313-101-64 comes in a two-piece housing with contact beams on both sides. The contacts of the connector have plate-and-barrel structure. The two-part shell of the connector encloses and securely holds the contacts in place and provides strain relief to prevent loose connections.
The 77313-101-64 has an operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C and is suitable for use in a variety of aspects including general industrial, automotive, and military applications. To ensure reliable connection and excellent electrical performance, it is essential to use appropriate mounting hardware and accessories that meet the environmental, current, and voltage requirements. The performance of the connector can also be enhanced by using corrosion-resistant materials and insulation to cover the exposed parts of the contact pins.
The 77313-101-64 is wired in the same way as other connector headers. To assemble the connector, the contacts are inserted into the connector housing from both sides in the correct orientation. The contacts are notched on both sides to prevent them from jarring out. Usually, the header has a crimping terminal on the end of each contact, and the wires are crimped with the corresponding terminal. After wiring, the two-piece housings are snapped together.
In conventional applications, the 77313-101-64 can be soldered onto the circuit board. However, for the headers with multiple contacts, it is recommended to use Molex cable assemblies with compliant pin contacts. The Molex technology provides a vibration-resistant wired-connection and superior electrical and mechanical performance. The cable assemblies also ensure a secure connection without stressing the contacts when expanding or tripping wires.
The working principle of the 77313-101-64 is relatively simple. Internally, the header is designed to provide electrical conductivity, robust connection, and secure strain relief. The electrical connection is established by inserting the contact pins into the housing and fully engaging the connector housing. The contacts provide a strong connection between the wires and circuit board even with the impacts or vibrations of the environment.
The 77313-101-64 is a great choice for applications with small mounting space. It provides superior electrical performance, secure connection, and strain relief. With its wide operating temperature range and UL approval, the 77313-101-64 is suitable for different industrial and outdoor applications.
