961210-6700-AR-PR

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The 961210-6700-AR-PR is an electrical connector designed for specific applications. It is most commonly found in the automotive industry, as it is an ideal fit in the tight confines of engine compartments and other areas. This connector is also useful in industrial, electronics, and medical fields.

This connector is incredibly versatile, as it is available in a variety of configuration variations and contact sizes. It has a range of pitch sizes, from 1.25 to 3.50mm, and is available in both through-hole and surface mount designs. The through-hole design is applicable for applications that need a quick and sure connection, while the surface mount design works well with automated systems that require a steady connection during operation.

Design Features

The 961210-6700-AR-PR features a two-piece molded construction designed for flexible and reliable mounting. Its molded pin construction provides a secure grip and prevents short-circuits in contact elements as well as dissipates heat quickly. The insulation is easy to remove and makes the assembly and disconnection of the electrical connections as easy as possible.

The connector also is designed for simplified maintenance with its patented termination system. This system allows for easy removal of the terminal blade, which reduces the time needed to service the connector. The connector is certified for a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +105°C, and is rated for up to 25A.

Working Principle

The 961210-6700-AR-PR has two different parts that make up the connector. The male part is an array of pins that is surrounded by a black molded shield with ribbed slots for easy insertion. The female part consists of an array of sockets that is also surrounded by a black molded shield for insulation. The pins and sockets are in close contact to reduce the risk of short circuits and to ensure proper connection — the contact elements are guarded by plastic insulation that resists chemicals and abrasion.

To make the connection, the male pins are pushed into the female sockets. The pins are held in place by spring pressure and the contact elements are soldered together to make a secure connection. The connector can then be fastened with screws and a strain relief clipped to hold the connection tight and reduce the risk of short circuits.

Conclusion

The 961210-6700-AR-PR is an incredibly useful connector for a range of applications. It has an easy-to-use interface, with two-piece molded construction, patented termination system, and spring pressure pins. Its rated for Current of 25A and temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, while also providing a secure connection and preventing short circuits. This connector is truly a reliable and versatile choice.
