Working Principle

The 87160-8 connector system works by using a series of pins that are inserted into a mating connector. The pins are secured with a thread locking mechanism that ensures reliable contact between the pins and the connector body. The pins then lock into place and make an electrical connection to the connector.

The 87160-8 pins are also coated with a metal or plastic material that helps reduce electrical noise and improves the connection quality. This coating provides a higher degree of electrical performance compared to uncoated pins and helps reduce signal loss.
