88873-009LF Application Field and Working Principle

The 88873-009LF header is a rectangular male pin connector developed by the modern electronic connection manufacturer Tyco Electronics. The 88873-009LF header features a 9-pin double row header and can be used in various applications including computers and peripherals, portable electronic devices, medical and test equipment, digital cameras, and video cameras. It is ideal for high-density board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnects, and offers reliable connection for multiple applications.

Tyco Electronics offers 88873-009LF headers in several different package sizes and pin counts which allow it to be used for assemblies with a wide variety of different conductor diameters. All of the different package sizes also feature a anti-hook pin protection which makes them safer to handle during installation and removal. Additionally this header is designed with positive latches which add extra protection against possible mis-mating.

The 88873-009LF header is constructed out of a UL 94V-0 flame rated thermoplastic housing and features a contact plating made of either gold or tin over nickel. The contacts are designed to have a female receptacle and use standard size press-fit mounting holes which are 0.079” in size. The operating temperature range for the 88873-009LF header is between -55oC and +105oC.

The 88873-009LF header has a pin insulation thickness of 0.50 mm (0.020’’) and it can handle an operating force of 40 N with a total axial pull-out force range between 50 N and 200 N. It also has a current rating of 2A and a current insulation resistance (IR) of 100mΩ minimum at 500VAC. The dielectric withstanding voltage (DWV) for the 88873-009LF header is 500VAC and it can withstand high vibration due to its atypical mounting holes.
