Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are an important type of electrical connector used in a wide range of applications. The 95278-101B20LF is a heavy-duty, reliable, and cost-effective header/male pin connector designed for applications requiring rugged construction and reliable performance. This article provides an overview of the 95278-101B20LF application field and working principle.

Application Field

The 95278-101B20LF is ideally suited for use in harsh environments where shock, impact, vibration, or sudden temperature changes from freezing to heat are encountered, such as in automotive, telecommunication, aerospace, and military applications. With a broad operating temperature range from -40° C to +125° C (-40° F to +257° F), the specialized heavy-duty design of the 95278-101B20LF can easily withstand wide temperature ranges without compromising performance.

The 95278-101B20LF is a class H header/male pin that is highly reliable for applications in a wet environment due to its gold-plated contact, insulation-dipped pins, and resistant materials. Additionally, it can be easily configured together with a housing or rapid assembler that is compatible with a wide variety of wires, cables, and other hardware and accessories.

Working Principle

The 95278-101B20LF features a three-way header with an integral latch, which provides convenience for users while ensuring an electrical connection. The latch ensures the two components are securely connected and remain securely connected. In addition, the integral latch helps to improve the reliability of the connection and the service life of the device and to reduce the possibility of cable disconnection.

The header component of the 95278-101B20LF is an area where gold-plated contact, insulation-dipped pins provide reliable electrical connection. The header also features a polarizing tab, which ensures correct mating between the header and the receptacle. This tab ensures correct orientation of the contacts before the actual insertion process. Additionally, the header component also features a key that helps to prevent accidental cross-mating.

The mating male pin component of the 95278-101B20LF is designed to provide secure, consistent, and reliable connections, even when mated with other male pins. The male pins are manufactured using an insulation-dipped process to provide protection against short-circuiting, and feature an angular contact with the receptacle to enable robust electrical connections. Additionally, the male pin contact includes a variety of termination options such as crimps, solders, or press fits.

Conclusion

The 95278-101B20LF header/male pin connector is designed to be a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications requiring rugged construction and excellent electrical performance in demanding environments. Its three-way header with an integral latch helps to ensure the two components are securely connected, while its gold-plated contact, insulation-dipped pins provide reliable electrical connections. Additionally, the various options for termination, including crimps, solders, or press-fits, make the 95278-101B20LF a great choice for a wide range of applications.
