961130-5900-AR-TP

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are commonly used in the electrical and electronic industries to connect a variety of devices including chips, sensors, transistors, and resistors. The 20-position 0.100 inch centerline 961130-5900-AR-TP is one such connector—smaller in profile than the typical header, male pin arrangement

The 961130-5900-AR-TP offers 20 pins on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) centers in a ribbon cable configuration. It has two rows, each having 10 positions, with the row spacing of 0.200 inch (5.08 mm). The contacts are designated with two rows of mating pins, which are inserted into the mating connector in the opposite direction via a ribbon cable. The body of the connector is made of polyester, which has high insulation resistance and allows the connector to be reused by simply loosening and tightening the locking screws.

This particular rectangular connector also features an anti-rotation ("AR") feature. This involves the body of the connector being in two halves and the contacts being soldered to the center of these halves. This anti-rotation feature prevents the connector from being inserted incorrectly into the mating device. The soldered contacts on each side of the connector reduce space while improving the mechanical strength and protection against damage caused by electrical arcing.

The 961130-5900-AR-TP connector allows for trouble free connection incorporating maximum flexibility with a 20 pin, 0.100 inch pitch, high-speed mating type. It is designed to provide reliable signal integrity and fits into a wide range of applications such as telecommunications, aerospace, industrial control, and consumer applications.

The working principles of the 961130-5900-AR-TP connector is simple and straightforward. The contact pins are soldered to the external side of the mating connector, and through the positive pressure between the contact pins and the mating contacts, an electrical connection is established. The locking screws provide the necessary force to ensure that the electrical connection is securely maintained. The pins are then wired up to the associated devices.

In summary, the 961130-5900-AR-TP is a small, lightweight, low cost and user-friendly approach to connecting devices. It has a 0.100 inch centerline, two rows of 10 positions each and an anti-rotation feature. These features provide reliable electrical connections with higher signal integrity and allow for easy connection and installation. The ease of assembly and installation make this a popular choice for many applications.
