HMTSW-102-10-L-D-480

Rectangular connectors offer a reliable solution for completing an electrical connection. The HMTSW-102-10-L-D-480 headers is a 10-pin, 4mm pitch, right angle header with a machined pin and a right angle female jack. It belongs to the rectangular connector family, which also includes board-to-board connectors, and wire-to-board connectors.

Applications of HMTSW-102-10-L-D-480

The HMTSW-102-10-L-D-480 headers are widely used in many fields, most commonly in telecommunications systems, computers, and consumer electronics. They are versatile connectors which can be used for board-to-board connections, or board-to-cable connections. Additionally, the right angle jack makes them convenient for applications with space constraints. These connectors can be used to join signal, power, and ground conductors.

Working Principles

HMTSW-102-10-L-D-480 headers work by creating an electrical connection between two points. This connection is achieved through the use of electrical connectors, which are small pieces of metal or plastic that join two or more elements of an electrical circuit together. The connectors are designed to fit into a complementary socket, creating a tight connection that prevents any current loss.

Connections are made by inserting the contacts of the connector into the corresponding holes of the socket. The contacts are held securely in place by springs, which act both as a secure mechanism to ensure that the connection is made correctly and also as a shock absorber to protect the socket from any sudden vibrations or shocks.

For the HMTSW-102-10-L-D-480 headers, the contacts are made of high-quality machined pins which can resist corrosion and wear. The machined pin has two parts, the contact and the outer sleeve. The contact is made of a material that has the capability to conduct electricity, while the sleeve is designed to protect the contact from damage.

The machined pin is inserted into the socket slot and secured in place by means of a metallic spring and an insulator. The spring also ensures a good connection between the contact and the socket surface. This makes the connection both reliable and electrically safe.

Conclusion

The HMTSW-102-10-L-D-480 headers are an essential solution for any electronics or telecommunications system. Their versatility and their ability to be used in a variety of applications, makes them a reliable and cost-effective solution. Additionally, their machined pins ensure an optimal connection, which can resist corrosion, wear, and shocks.
