Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The header 78208-107 is a rectangular connector with many different use cases in a range of circuits and systems. It is suitable for connection to printed circuit boards, using PCB header contacts and has been designed for quick and easy mounting with a minimum of mechanical force, using the recognised header pin termination techniques. The 78208-107 connector features pressure contact terminals, which are designed to ensure a reliable connection and low contact resistance.

Application Fields

The 78208-107 is suitable for use in a variety of circuits and systems such as:

• Industrial control systems
• Computer systems
• Test Instruments
• Automation and process control systems
• Instrumentation
• Medical devices

The connector is designed to provide quick-connect, high current interconnects in a range of relatively harsh environments. The connector is suitable for use in applications with temperatures in the range of -25 °C to +85 °C.

Working Principle

The 78208-107 header has a two pole, pressure-clamp style connection system with two rows of five individually spaced connections. It is designed for use with either headers, socket contacts, or sockets. The header can be constructed with either a right angle or low profile design, depending on the application. The header is suitable for through hole and surface mount applications. It has a centre pin spacing of 2.54 mm, and a total width of 5.1 mm.

The header is constructed from high-temperature thermoplastic, with a nickel plating on the contacts. The contacts are designed with a pressure-clamp system, which provides strong and reliable mechanical connection and low-resistance electrical connection. The connector is designed to operate at 10A at 20 volts or lower amperage ratings depending on the application and type of contact used.

Conclusion

The 78208-107 connector is a two pole, pressure-clamp style connector which is suitable for many different applications. It features a reliable electrical connection with a low contact resistance, and a quick and easy mounting process. The connector has a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for both medium and harsh environments. The connector is also suitable for through hole and surface mount applications and is designed for use with headers, socket contacts, or sockets. The connector is designed to provide a reliable mechanical and electrical connection, with a centre pin spacing of 2.54 mm and a total width of 5.1 mm.
