ATM04-4P

Rectangular Connectors - Housings such as ATM04-4P present a simple solution to interconnect two different circuits. By inserting two compatible pin and socket connectors into the housing, parts of an electrical system can interface securely. This type of connector is widely utilized in many applications, and understanding its working principles and application fields is important to the correct use and implementation.

An ATM04-4P housing is a four-position connector housing made to accommodate standard .086-inch square pins in two rows. It is typically used in telecommunications, automotive, consumer electronics and industrial control systems, among other applications. It can often be seen in a wide range of equipment ranging from computer and peripherals, cell phones, point-of-sale (POS) systems, medical devices, etc. The connector provides typical temperatures of 105℃ and Durability of 50 mating cycles.

The design of an ATM04-4P connector is such that it consists of a housing which contains two-piece root body, also referred to as Insulated Terminal Housing (ITH). This two-piece root body is composed of Nylon material. The housing also contains a black plastic molded latch which is used to ensure that two mating connectors are securely held in place. The latch screws are used to lock the connectors together for additional safety. The metal pin contacts are made of phosphor bronze while the socket contacts are made of brass. When connected, there is a process known as Surface Mount Bonding which is done to attach the contacts to the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).

ATM04-4P connectors are wired in what is known as a flat ribbon cable style. This style is typically used in applications that require a single row of up to four contacts while making sure the contact position is easily determinable. This makes the connector suitable for a variety of applications with a varying number of pins. To prevent short circuits, it is important to make sure the contact leads are not coming into contact with each other.

The essential working principles of an ATM04-4P connector are relatively simple. The two connectors are inserted into the housing. This allows electrical signals to be transferred from the pin to the socket contacts. By attaching the two terminals, it is possible to transmit electrical currents back and forth. The latches are then locked to secure the connection for safety.

ATM04-4P connectors are robust, reliable and offer a cost-effective solution to interconnect two electrical circuits. The connector’s small size and ease of installation make it a great choice for applications where space and resources may be limited. As such, this type of connector is widely used in the consumer electronics and industrial control sectors.

In conclusion, the ATM04-4P connector is a durable and reliable solution that can be employed in a number of applications. The connector is composed of a housing which contains Insulated Terminal Housings, a metal pin contact, socket contact, black plastic molded latch, and Surface Mount Bonds. It is commonly used for wiring in a flat ribbon cable style, which enables it to securely connect two circuits together. Through the understanding of its application field and working principle, this reliable product can be employed in a number of scenarios.
