95278-809B12LF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The 95278-809B12LF is a reliable and well-designed rectangular connector, which markets its use with complex digital systems. This header mates with female rectuangular connectors that are uniquely designed to work with the particular male header. It is specifically designed to aleviate the common failure modes previously seen in headers, while also providing manufacturing ease.

Application Field

This 95278-809B12LF is applicable for many types of applications. It can be used in any digital system or digital circuitry since it’s designed to mate with the corresponding female connector. Its reliability and simple configuration makes it ideal for telecommunications, industrial, automotive, and military applications in which low voltages, temperatures, and vibrations are present.

Working Principle

The 95278-809B12LF works in the same way as all headers and male pins do. On one side, the header has tiny metal pins that protrude outwards that will be inserted into the female connector. Once inserted, electrical current can then flow and establish a connection. The vast majority of these headers now have a standard keyed line profile that prevents them from being inserted in the wrong orientation.

Pros and Cons

The 95278-809B12LF has numerous advantages, including its simple use and quick mating and dismantling capability. As part of the same product line, multiple sizes and configurations ensure that any desired connection can be quickly made. Plus, its design provides less mating and insertion force than other similar designs.

Despite this, the header also has some drawbacks. For one, there is a limited maximum current that can be transferred through this header, which can lead to problems in newer digital applications.

Conclusion

Overall, the 95278-809B12LF is an excellent choice for establishing complex digital connections. It is reliable and offers a high number of configurations to fit any need. Although it has some minor drawbacks, the advantages of the 95278-809B12LF exceed them.
