78276-214HLF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The 78276-214HLF is a 2mm pitch header that belongs to a lineup of specialized rectangular connectors created by Hirose. It\'s designed with a male pin and features a compact body that shaves off space in tighter projects. These 2mm pitch connectors have an interlocking design feature that gives added strain relief, while keeping connections secure. This specific range of 78276-214HLF headers are PCB-mountable through a surface mount method using solder.

Applications

78276-214HLF is built for use in multiple electrical and mechanical systems, such as communication, computer and other industrial control devices. Some of its major applications include:

• Data communications
• Consumer electronics
• Automation systems
• Industrial control systems
• Signal & power routing

Working Principles

The 78276-214HLF features male pins to connect to circuitry devices. This type of connector adheres to mounting standards, allowing it to fit on most headers. It\'s equipped with surface contact terminals with cocentric mount current ports. The header also has an enhanced tear-resistant tape which makes it easier to route signals.

The mating of the header and female crimp is made secure by a positive latching system. The contact of the male header has a highly reliable, non-metallic separator that has a low contact resistance. This ensures that all signal lines stay highly accurate, with minimal noise interference. The male header is lightweight, with an environmental resistance to shock, vibration, and temperature. The 77276-214HLF connector is suitable for mated conditions between 0.5 and 1.5m apart.

Design Characteristics

The 78276-214HLF is an 8-position header that has a 2.0mm pitch. It can carry up to 1A of current, with an operating temperature range between -40 and +105 C, and a contact resistance of 20mOhms. It also has an insulation resistance rating of 1,000MOhms, VSWR of 1.3 or less and dielectric resistance of 500v AC for one minute.

The 78276-214HLF is reliable and easy to install. Its housing is created from a PBT based thermoplastic that offers an exceptional heat resistance, and a lead-free tin-plating is applied to the contacts for preventing oxidation. It\'s UL 94-V-0 rated, and features a halogen-free vector code that displays the voltage rating and number of positions. The header is available in an array of configurations.
