The FTSH-108-01-SM-DV is a rectangular epoxy connector that is used in various industrial applications. It is typically used to mount a male pin to a panel. This connector is part of a larger series of rectangular connectors manufactured by Molex, a global manufacturer of connectors and cabling.
The FTSH-108-01-SM-DV is a two-piece device consisting of a female plastic housing with sixteen male contacts. The female plastic housing can be fastened to panels using two 8-32 screws, providing a secure fit and ensuring proper strain relief. The male pins are constructed from gold plated copper, which is highly resistant to corrosion. The female housing is typically constructed from either polyester or polyphenylene sulfide, both of which are chemically resistant and durable materials.
This connector is suitable for general-purpose, signal, and power applications. The contact spacing of the FTSH-108-01-SM-DV allows it to be used in both through-hole and surface mount configurations. The contacts feature an operating temperature range of -40 to +125 degrees Celsius, and it can support a maximum voltage of 250 volts. The current rating is 1.5A. The FTSH-108-01-SM-DV also meets the UL 94V-2 flammability standard to ensure safety and compliance.
The long-term reliability and durability of any electrical connection is dependent on the assembly process used. Molex uses a proprietary assembly process, which includes pre-assembly of components before installation and crimping of pin ends for increased strength. Once assembled, the FTSH-108-01-SM-DV connector is tested to industry standards to ensure quality.
The FTSH-108-01-SM-DV is designed to provide a quick and easy connection solution in various industrial applications. The two-piece construction and pre-assembly process ensures that this connector is reliable and durable in any application it is used in. It is a cost-effective solution for any application.
