95278-401A16

Application Field

95278-401A16 is a press-fit male pin header connector that is typically used in applications that require a secure connection. It is designed to provide an easy-to-use and reliable connection and works well with both standard-sized 0.040" square pins as well as those with smaller, 0.100 and 0.020 pin sizes. The connector also features insulation displacement contacts (IDC) and a rectangular housing with a strain relief spring. This combination makes it well suited for high-density, high-current applications.

Typical uses for 95278-401A16 in various industries include automotive and appliance, due to its ability to provide a secure, reliable connection in a compact size. It has also been used in control and instrumentation fields, as well as in aerospace and other electronics elements.

Working Principle

To create a connection between two conductive materials using 95278-401A16, a user simply needs to press-fit the pin into a compatible connector. This is accomplished by inserting the pin into a matching sized hole in the connector housing and applying pressure. The contact pins then displace insulation on the conductor surface and create a secure mechanical and electrical connection. The strain relief spring also helps improve connection reliability by helping to prevent the pins from becoming detached during vibration or movement.

This simple press-fit design makes 95278-401A16 connectors ideal for quickly creating reliable connections in a variety of applications. Furthermore the secure connection ensures that conductivity is not disrupted by vibration, temperature changes, or other environmental factors.
