HMTSW-101-08-L-S-310

HMTSW-101-08-L-S-310 rectangular connectors (henceforth referred to as HMSW) can be found in many applications today but have been popular for years. Whether used to join two pieces of equipment together, or used to create a circuit for communication between computer systems, these connectors have been relied upon to do the job right. Looking at the components of HMSW, as well as the benefits of opting to use these connectors in a variety of applications, can give engineers and those interested in technology a better understanding of the possibilities of these devices.

HMSW, also known as headers and male pins, are miniature rectangular electric connectors which are similar to edge connectors in their ability to mate and support electrical contacts. The unique design and parameters of rectangular connectors allow for them to be more compact than many other types of electrical connectors, while still having a higher current-carrying capacity and higher voltage-resistance than its predecessors and competitors. This makes them extremely versatile and suitable for a variety of applications.

The working principle behind HMSW is that when two boards, devices, or circuits are placed in the same device, the pins on the connector establish electrical contact between them, thus completing the connection and allowing them to communicate. The pins fit into a special metal plate that is inserted in the connector body in order for the pins to fit. Once fitted and inserted, the pins are then soldered or crimped, providing stronger electrical and physical connection between the two boards.

From automotive, avionics, and computer to communications and medical markets, HMSW rectangular connectors are being utilized in an ever-increasing range of technological applications. These miniature connectors have been developed to meet demanding and hazardous applications, offering robust protection from shock and vibration, as well as offering superior contact reliability when compared to other types of connectors. Some of the more common applications involving rectangualr connectors include the connection of communication systems, power systems, and computer Components, as well as in the assembly of electrical control systems. In telecommunication networks, rectangular connectors are valuable when it comes to making connections between electronic racks and remote switches & power supplies. It is also common for these connectors to be used in manufacturing and industrial robots, as well as in the field of automation, when it comes to controlling and managing machines.

From their high contact protection properties to their advantage in a reduced size, HMSW headers & male pins offer real benefits over other types of electrical connections. In many applications, they are able to provide a reliable and high-quality interface that is both cost-effective and economically efficient. In addition to the advantages of the connectors themselves, there are also numerous possibilities with regards to accessory materials, including protective shrouds, terminal pins, insert plugs and sockets, and many others.
