D9218-01

The D9218-01 is a rectangular connector, commonly known as a header, belonging to the specialty pin category. This device is a type of electrical connector composed of a row of metal pins, which typically are shrouded with a plastic housing. The D9218-01 connector is characterized by its versatility in terms of adapting to various applications, and its ability to plug into standard 0.1” spaced and staggered 4-position rows. Additionally, the D9218-01 includes a unique RF shielding feature, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

The most common application of the D9218-01 header involves connecting two separate circuits together. It is most often used in medical, industrial, and consumer electronics equipment, and is particularly popular in data and communication systems, where shielding is important to reduce potential for signal interference. Another use of the D9218-01 is to connect computer components, such as hard drives, fans, and other peripheral devices. Moreover, it is widely employed in flat screen televisions, monitors, radios, and other devices.

The D9218-01 header includes a number of resilient features. Its solid metal pins can withstand a moderate amount of bending and flexing, while its plastic housing adds additional protection. Additionally, the RF shielding feature protects against unwanted frequency transmissions and external interference. Moreover, the connector’s connector contact patterns are designed to minimize signal attenuation and ensure a reliable connection option, even when the device is used in environments with high-vibration.

The working principle of the D9218-01 header is relatively simple. A mating pair, usually consisting of a plug and a socket, is created when two or more components come in contact with the pins. Once the connection is made, the two components are securely fastened together. This connection allows current to flow between the two components, allowing them to perform their designated tasks.

The D9218-01 header is a product of great versatility and top notch quality, which makes it a necessary component in many electronic applications. Its unique RF shielding feature and resilient pins provide reliable, secure connections, while its connector contact patterns reduce signal attenuation and ensure a reliable and interference-free connection. All of these features make the D9218-01 a great choice for connecting various electronic components, making it an essential component of many of the products we use every day.
