8979-0-00-21-00-00-03-0

The 8979-0-00-21-00-00-03-0 terminal is a single-post, PC-pin connector intended for a wide range of applications. Such connectors are used for a variety of purposes apart from their traditional application in printed circuit boards. This type of connector features a number of key advantages over other options such as male and female blades.

Application Field

The particular design of the 8979-0-00-21-00-00-03-0 terminal is well-suited for applications ranging from handheld portable electronics and telecom devices to higher power computer and industrial systems. In particular, the connector is ideal for use in applications where a higher number of polarised and fine-spaced points require a stable mating action. Some of the typical applications include PC motherboards, gaming consoles, wiring cases and automotive lighting.

Working Principle

The 8970-0-00-21-00-00-03-0 features PC pins on the back of the connector terminals, and is mated with the corresponding female blades on the PCB board side. The 2mm pin-to-row spacing provides superior resistance against high-frequency emissions. Furthermore, the positive locking mechanism ensures a secure connection by allowing only one-way mating into the socket. Additionally, the thermoplastic Elastomer Boot provides protection from damaging elements such as humidity and dust.

Special Features

The 8979-0-00-21-00-00-03-0 features a high-temperature insulation, making it suitable for high-power applications such as power supplies and motor control. It also features a low-profile design to facilitate easy installation in tight spaces. Furthermore, the temperature rating of the parts is designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for use in extreme environments.

Conclusion

The 8979-0-00-21-00-00-03-0 terminal is a single-post, PC-pin connector designed for a wide range of applications, from handheld portable electronics to higher power industrial systems. It features a positive locking mechanism, high temperature insulation, a low profile design, and a high temperature rating making it suitable for use in extreme environments. This connector is ideal for applications where a high number of polarised and fine-spaced points require a secure and stable mating action.
