Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

90309-010LF is a multipin product line of rectangular interconnection systems, commonly referred as Rectangular Connectors. This type of connectors which are also known as headers, male pins, or other similar names, are an essential part of many electronic devices for a variety of reasons. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 90309-010LF product line of connectors.

Application Field

The 90309-010LF series of connectors is primarily used in the telecom, networking, medical, and security industries. These multipin connectors have designs which feature a single-row pin carriage with contact retention mechanisms. This type of design allows for secure connection and rapid assembly. This is beneficial as these industries require reliable and fast electrical connections between their products.

The 90309-010LF is also used in automotive and other industrial applications. Automotive applications typically require more rigorous conditions so these connectors are designed to operate through greater temperature ranges, vibrations levels, and extreme pressure variations. Similarly, they are also used in industrial applications which demand high reliability in signal and power transmission, even in harsh environmental conditions.

Working Principle

90309-010LF connectors are designed with bottom contact technology. This action allows the connection’s contact points to produce electrical connection by squeezing together with an applicable contact. The squeezing is caused by the tension produced between the mating interface elements.

These bottom contact technology connectors ensure fast and secure connections are being made. They provide high-performance retention via a compression force mechanism which increases contact forces while paired with any applicable contact. This improved contact force between the contact points ensures optimal contact during operation.

The 90309-010LF connectors are designed with a double molded polarized housing. This specific feature ensures fast and easy identification of mating interface orientation. It also provides reliable connection and anti-vibration lock. The dual molded housing also offers a convenient wiring sequence which prevents unnecessary rewiring.

Conclusion

90309-010LF connectors are versatile and robust products designed primarily for the telecom, networking, medical, and security industries, as well as automotive and industrial applications. They are designed with bottom contact technology which allows for secure and rapid electrical connection. The dual molded housing also provides fast and easy identification of mating orientation, as well as ensures reliable connection and anti-vibration lock.
