87760-4016

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The 87760-4016 is an example of rectangular connectors – headers, male pins. It belongs to the 87760 series, and is designed with quick-connect technology that enables quick changes in the wiring system. Made of premium-grade stainless steel, this rectangular connector is durable and provides excellent conductivity both electrically and mechanically.

This particular connector has an operating temperature range of -10°C to +85°C. It is UL approved and CSA certified for safety. In addition, it is IP67-rated, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Application Field

This 87760-4016 connector can be used in multiple applications such as for industrial automation, telecommunications, military, and security systems. In addition, it is used in the automotive, instrumentation, and fuel-management systems.

It is suitable for use in applications that require strong signal conductivity and reliable connections. The quick-connect feature enables fast changes and can be used in situations that require quick wiring and rewiring.

Working Principle

The 87760-4016 works by connecting and disconnecting when the terminal pins are inserted and removed from the female connector. The contacts in the female connector are made of stainless steel that ensures good signal strength and mechanical stability. It also helps protect the contacts from corrosion.

The male pins lock into their mating receptacles thanks to a “self-locking system”. This system prevents the pins from getting accidentally jarred or dislodged while plugging and unplugging. It also ensures signal integrity and reduces wire fracture.

This rectangular connector is robust and can withstand high vibration and harsh working environment. The “high-clarity” contacts also improve the connection reliability.
