Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

A 9-146282-0-24 rectangular connector is one of the smallest-sized electrical connectors available. It is designed to connect power supplies or circuits with smaller, more delicate electronic components. It is commonly used in automotive, home, industrial, and instrumentation applications.

Application Field

The 9-146282-0-24 connector is mostly used in low-voltage, low-current applications that require only low power. It is ideal for applications such as CCD signal pipelines, battery packs, LED displays, medical electronics, and low-speed communication devices. Moreover, because of its small size, its use is common in mobile device, computer, or automotive applications.

Working Principle

A 9-146282-0-24 connector typically consists of two parts: the header and the male pin. The header is the main part of the connector and consists of two rows with eight pins each. The two rows are spaced such that when the pins of the header are mated, a small gap is created between the two adjacent pins. This gap allows for a small amount of electrical current to travel between the pins of the header, creating the signal or connection.

The male pin is a small metal pin, usually made of copper or other metals, which is inserted into the header. When the male pin is inserted into the header, electrical contact is made between the two pins in the header. This electrical contact creates a conduit for the signal or power to pass through. The male pin also provides secure mounting and retention of the connector. Most 9-146282-0-24 connectors are designed with a special interlocking mechanism to ensure the male pin remains securely in the header even during vibration or mechanical shock.

In addition to providing electrical connections, the 9-146282-0-24 connector is also designed to provide mechanical protection against dust and moisture. The connector\'s small size makes it difficult for dust and moisture to enter, thus protecting the pins from corrosion and other damage. Furthermore, the small size of the connector enables it to be used in tight spaces, making it ideal for portable and compact applications.
