FTSH-104-04-L-MT

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The FTSH-104-04-L-MT connector is one of the many products offered by Molex that fall into the category of rectangular connectors. It’s a right-angle, 4-row vertical mount, 2mm pitch header with a low profile design. It’s typically used for board-to-board connections, though its versatile design offers many other applications as well. This article will explore the application field and working principle of the FTSH-104-04-L-MT connector.

Application Field

The FTSH-104-04-L-MT connector is a versatile product with a wide range of potential applications. Primarily, it’s designed for board-to-board connections. This makes it a great choice for many different types of printed circuit boards. For example, it can be used to connect a main board to a daughter board, or even a microprocessor to a power distribution board. It can also be used in small space-constrained applications, like laptop computers, mobile phones, and even consumer electronics. Finally, it’s also found in networking, telecommunications, and even automotive applications.

Working Principle

The FTSH-104-04-L-MT connector is essentially a male header that consists of two components: the body and the pins. The connector body is made from stamped and formed sheet metal and is designed with solder posts for mounting on a board. The pins are made from machined metal rods and fit into the plated-through holes of a PCB. Together, the two components provide a secure and reliable board-to-board connection.

When the connector body is inserted into the hole of the board, the pins hold the body in place. The pins are then soldered to the through-hole of the board to provide a secure connection. The connector body is insulated, so it’s important to make sure the joint between the pins and board are properly insulated with heat shrink or other insulation materials. Once the connection is secure, the connector body is held firmly in place and the board-to-board connection is complete.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the FTSH-104-04-L-MT connector is a versatile product with a wide range of potential applications. It’s primarily used for board-to-board connections, though its versatile design allows for many other applications as well. The connector consists of two components: the body and the pins, which are soldered to the board to provide a secure connection. By using insulation materials, the joint between the pins and board can be properly insulated. With this kind of reliable board-to-board connection, the FTSH-104-04-L-MT is an invaluable product for many different applications.
