FTE-166-01-G-DV-ES

Application Field

The FTE-166-01-G-DV-ES is a rectangular connector from a series of wire-to-board headers designed with double-row, 2.54 mm spacing. FTE-166-01-G-DV-ES has 8 positions and is mainly used for the board-to-board and wire-to-wire-to-board connections in automotive, LCD screens, power supplies and motors. It has superior tin plating, and is resistant to oxidation, corrosion and wear. Its 2.54mm pitch, 8-position configuration allows for quick and flexible connections, while its gold plated contacts ensure superior electrical performance.

Working Principle

FTE-166-01-G-DV-ES has two rows of eight 2.54mm pitch gold plated contacts. The connections are secured with a single outer row of tabs that both hold the contacts together and provide mechanical support. This keeps the contacts from breaking and ensures the integrity of the connection. The contacts also feature keying that helps to prevent improper mating and protect the connectors from being inserted incorrectly. To ensure a solid electrical contact, FTE-166-01-G-DV-ES are rated for 0.5amp at 30VAC.

Advantages

The FTE-166-01-G-DV-ES has several advantages over other headers. It is easy to install, with no need for extra hardware or wire soldering. The double row design helps to reduce the space needed for installation and allows for more efficient connections. Additionally, it has superior resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and wear, making it suitable for harsh environments. Furthermore, its gold plated contacts provide excellent electrical performance.

Disadvantages

When compared to other headers, FTE-166-01-G-DV-ES has a few downsides. It is more expensive than other headers and its 8 position design limits the number of connections that can be made. Additionally, the keying may make it difficult to insert the connector into some applications. Lastly, it may require additional hardware for installation.

Conclusion

The FTE-166-01-G-DV-ES is a rectangular connector from a series of wire-to-board headers designed with double-row, 2.54 mm spacing. It is mainly used for the board-to-board and wire-to-wire-to-board connections in automotive, LCD screens, power supplies and motors.
