Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are one of the most commonly used connector types due to their flexibility, usability and cost efficiency. The 98401-801-14, specifically, is one of the most popular connectors amongst professionals and hobbyists alike. It is a 2 row, 14 position, "straight" dual contact machined male pin connector, with a 0.74 square millimeter terminals spaced on a 2.54mm pitch.

The connector is generally used in applications that involve a high level of flexibility, as the connector allows for a variety of different pin configurations. It is also compatible with several different types of cables and mating connectors. The pin headers themselves are strong and durable, making them suitable for use in applications that demand a high degree of reliability and robustness.

The 98401-801-14’s contact construction consists of dual-beam contacts which offer secure and reliable electrical connections. This contact construction also reduces complexity and allows for easy assembly. The contacts are made from a robust material, typically copper or metal alloy, which ensures low levels of electrical resistance and helps to improve the durability and longevity of the connection.

Alongside its impressive contact construction, the 98401-801-14 also features a simple but effective latching system. This latching system offers a secure connection and ensures that the device doesn’t become accidentally disconnected. The latching system consists of two parts: the socket and the latch. The socket holds the contact firmly in place and the latch securely locks the contact to the socket.

Working Principle of the 98401-801-14. To achieve an electrical connection, the socket and latch must be securely fastened. This is done by inserting the socket into the device and then sliding the latch into the notch of the socket. The latch secures the socket and contact in place, allowing power to flow through the device. The contacts are also mechanically isolated from each other, ensuring that the device is protected from any potential electrical interference.

The 98401-801-14 is a highly reliable and robust connector. With its dual beam contacts and secure latching system, it ensures a safe and secure power connection. It is also relatively easy to assemble and demonstrates excellent performance and durability in a variety of applications. Thanks to its flexibility, reliability, and affordability, the 98401-801-14 is an increasingly popular choice amongst professionals and hobbyists alike.
