HDR100MET40F-G-RA-TH

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets have various different applications depending on their specific design. The HDR100MET40F-G-RA-TH is a rectangular connector that features a header that has a 0.100 inch pitch between pins on 40 contacts, 0.062 inch square post terminals, a 1.57 inch circuit length, and is shrouded to minimize cross-talk. It is also has a special feature of having a “F” suffix in its name that flags that the header is configured as a “flip-lock” connector where the mated portion is designed to snap into place before the eight locking tabs are engaged.The HDR100MET40F-G-RA-TH connector is an ideal choice for most applications requiring an interconnect due to its formidable list of features. The HD part of the name indicates it is a “heavy-duty” connector meaning it is designed for higher current applications up to 15 Amps per circuit and a maximum of 125V. The Connector is rated for use at temperatures between -40°C to +105°C. The HDR100MET40F-G-RA-TH’s plastic is made up of UL 94V-0 rated thermoplastic.The HDR100MET40F-G-RA-TH conforms to the IEC 61076-3-106 standard which states that the part must contain a header and a receptacle. The header is further divided into two separate sections – a rear mating area that contains the electrical contacts and a mating face with eight latching tabs. The receptacle is the same shape as the header except it contains four smaller latching tabs.The HDR100MET40F-G-RA-TH’s design is what provides its excellent performance. The contacts are made with a 90° bent alloy which provides a secure contact throughout the mating cycle with minimal contact resistance. This combination of solid contacts and reliable latching helps ensure the connector is secure in all applications.The working principle of the HDR100MET40F-G-RA-TH is simple. To connect the header and receptacle, the user simply pushes the header into the receptacle. The header and receptacle are then “locked” together with the eight latching tabs on the header and four latching tabs on the receptacle. Once in position, the header and receptacle are electrically connected and able to pass power and signals through the contacts.The HDR100MET40F-G-RA-TH offers a reliable and secure contact solution for most applications requiring interconnects. The heavy duty construction and latching system provide a secure connection and the numerous features make this a great choice for most applications. It is designed to work in temperatures between -40°C and +105°C and can handle currents of up to 15 Amps per circuit, making it a great choice for a variety of applications.
