Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins: FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are found in a variety of places, from consumer electronics to industrial and medical equipment. The FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR rectangular connector is especially designed for use in limited space applications. This article discusses the application field and working principle of the FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR.

What is a Rectangular Connector?

A rectangular connector is an electrical connector with a plastic or metal housing that is designed to fit into a wire or a terminal block. It is characterized by the shape of the contacts and housing itself. These connectors are usually available as headers with male pins, headers with female contacts, receptacles with female contacts, and receptacles with male pins.

What is the FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR?

The FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR is a compact, dual-row, 14-position, surface mount rectangular connector. It has a cover/shield that protects the connector from dust, moisture, and other harsh conditions. The contacts are made of brass and gold plated for reliable connection. This connector is designed to meet the IPC-2221A standard for header connectors.

FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR Application Field

The FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR is especially designed for use in limited space applications where a single vertical connection is needed. It is used in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, computers, automation, transportation, medical equipment, industrial data acquisition, consumer electronic products, and digital equipment. The FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR is particularly suitable for use in Board-to-Board (B2B) applications. This type of application requires two board-level interconnects to be linked together, typically through a flexible cable assembly. The FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR offers high density and reliable contact in a compact size, making it an ideal choice for such applications.

FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR Working Principle

The FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR uses two rows of male pins to provide connection between two boards or terminals. The pins are made of brass with 30 μm gold plated and have a pitch of 0.5mm. The pins have an axial travel of 0.2 + 0.2mm and an isolation voltage of up to 150V. The maximum contact resistance is 35 mΩ, and the insertion and withdrawal forces are 2.0 N and 0.5 N respectively. The operating temperature range is between -20ºC and +85ºC. The FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR also has an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

Conclusion

The FTSH-140-02-L-MT-TR is a compact, dual-row, 14-position, surface mount rectangular connector. It is designed for use in limited space applications, such as Board-to-Board (B2B) applications, where a reliable and compact connection is needed. The connector uses two rows of male pins to provide connection between two boards or terminals. It has a cover/shield that protects the connector from dust, moisture, and other harsh conditions, and its IP67 protection rating makes it suitable for use in harsh environments.
