961242-5900-AR-PR

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, have long been a staple of electronic designs, providing an easy way to join a set of wires or a board of components together. The 961242-5900-AR-PR connector is a perfect example of this application field, and its working principle is also simple to understand.

Physical Description

The 961242-5900-AR-PR connector is a thru-hole, right angle form factor component with 8 pins. It is designed for use on boards with an edge thickness of 0.84 to 1.33 mm and a contact area of 1.39 to 1.75 mm. It can accept a standard 8-pin female plug and has a contact pitch of 2.54mm. The connector is made from nylon material and is UL-certified for safety.

Connector Purpose

The primary purpose of the 961242-5900-AR-PR connector is to join two devices electronically. It is best used when connecting two boards of components together or when wiring up a simple circuit. It is designed to be simple to use and reliable when in use.

Working Principle

The 961242-5900-AR-PR connector works on the same principle as other electronic connectors. The male pins on the connector are inserted into the female plug and the pins fit in the female plug tightly due to friction. This ensures that a good electrical connection is formed, which will allow current to successfully flow from the connector to the device or circuit it is connecting.

Installation

Installing the 961242-5900-AR-PR connector is a straightforward process. The male pins should be inserted into the female plug, and then the female plug should be inserted into the board with the pins pointing downward. The plastic housing of the connector should be slightly pressed down until it clicks into place.

Maintenance

The 961242-5900-AR-PR connector does not require a great deal of maintenance. To ensure it works correctly, the pins should be inspected regularly for corrosion or dirt. When inspecting, it is important to make sure all of the pins are clean and that there is no corrosion present. If corrosion is present, it should be cleaned off with a cloth and a mild cleaning agent.

Conclusion

The 961242-5900-AR-PR connector is a useful solution for connecting two devices electronically. It is easy to install, reliable and requires minimal maintenance. Its working principle is straightforward and results in a good electrical connection. This connector is therefore a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
