93217-172H

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, offer a connectivity solution employed in a wide range of applications. The 93217-172H is a commercially available, top-entry, high-density, headed male pin connector produced with precision terminal processing and offering superior strength and high-cycle durability. Suited to industrial control, digital communication, and all types of lighting applications, this connection provides an effective and efficient power transfer system.The 93217-172H male pin header is designed to terminate onto printed circuit boards (PCB) and is generally made from molded plastic material or glass-filled nylon, depending upon the specific application. The header is made up of a multi-slot housing with contacts mounted inside it and a cover for the plug. It consists of two parts - a base placing plate and a fixed or floating frame. The base placing plate is typically designed for easy PCB fixing and alignment. The frame prevents movement of the plug and seal, whilst the contacts are configured to terminate onto PCB traces of a specific pattern.The electrical connection is made when the plug and its contacts are inserted into the housing slots. The contacts are designed to grip the pc board even after multiple mated cycles providing a reliable, low resistance connection. The 93217-172H male pin header features anti-misinsertion guide pins, which prevent mismatches due to incorrect insertion of the connector.The most common applications for the 93217-172H include industrial controls such as automotive, machine tools, power, robotics and drive systems, as well as digital communication such as telecom base stations and other wireless communication systems. The connector is also suitable for applications related to lighting including LED lighting systems, automotive interior lighting, professional lighting and emergency lighting systems. It is designed to meet both the requirements for high temperature applications and the trend for smaller board footprints in tighter spaces.Due to its high-density design, the 93217-172H male pin header offers a superior connection system than the traditional terminal blocks used in these types of applications. It also offers increased contact density, improved reliability and decreased power loss when compared to traditional connectors. The 93217-172H offers flexibility, with larger versions available which enables multiple cable and pinouts to be supported.In summary, the 93217-172H is a versatile, top-entry, male pin header connector which is suitable for a range of industrial control and digital communication applications. It offers a high-density, low-resistance, reliable connection and is designed to accommodate multiple cable and pinouts.
