90310-104

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 90310-104 is a rectangular connector designed for a wide range of applications and is commonly used in the electronics industry. It is also employed in industrial, automation, and telecommunications sectors. This connector is a merge of the 90310-04 header and the 90310-14 receptacle, resulting in a more dependable connection for solid-state devices.

The 90310-104 is available in size 0, 2, and 3, with size 0 being the most common. The size 0 connector is 4x7mm in size with 5-pin array, while size 2 is 7x7mm and has 10-pin array. Size 3 is 10x7mm with 15-pin array. It is capable of accepting single and double row 4 mm to 10 mm board-to-board pitches, and can fit almost all popular pin widths.

The 90310-104 headers are made of tin-plated or gold-plated copper alloy, with dielectric material and contacts, and feature a monoblock design that allows fast and reliable contact mating. They feature IDC (insulation displacement contact), meaning the dielectric material covers the contact points and they can be connected without soldering. The mating receptacles feature a 3-piece design consisting of the base, split sleeve, and top plate.

The base and top are made of PBT (Polybutylene terephthalate), while the split sleeve is made of either PP (Polypropylene) or LCP (liquid crystal polymer). The split sleeve ensures high retention and provides an audible click upon mating, which improves the quality and safety of the connection. Additionally, the overall design prevents ESD, dust, and moisture ingress.

The 90310-104 features an excellent electrical performance with a current rating of 1 amp and a voltage rating of 50V AC/DC. It also offers a plug/unplug life of >1000 mating, withstand voltage of 500V AC/min, and an insulation resistance of >500 M ohms. This connector has an operating temperature range of -40⁰C (min) to 105⁰C (max), allowing for use in different environmental conditions.

The 90310-104 is extremely versatile and is suitable for many applications. It is used in high-speed communication technologies such as data communications, automotive electronics, office equipment, networking, and consumer electronics. This versatile connector is also widely used in robotics, security systems, and in various point-to-point connections. It is also used in mission-critical applications such as factory automation or big data applications.

In summary, the 90310-104 is a high-performance rectangular connector built on a reliable three-piece design with excellent electrical performance. It is invaluable in the electronics industry, as it is used to reliably connect boards, components, and other devices in numerous applications.
