HMTSW-104-21-G-T-1240 Working Principle

The working principle of HMTSW-104-21-G-T-1240 is based on a positive locking mechanism. This mechanism consists of a stamped header and two contact pins, which are inserted through the rear of the header. When the contact pins reach a predetermined position, a retention mechanism will keep them in place – either by a resilient actuating lever or by a slideable locking mechanism.

The two insertion points, on the end of each contact pin, are designed to provide a pressure contact when pushed into the appropriate socket. This provides for optimum signal integrity and prevents the contact from untightening due to vibration. The pin is then held in place by a retention mechanism that wedges the pin between the two metal surfaces inside the header, thus providing an additional layer of protection from loosening.

In addition to the positive locking mechanism, the HMTSW-104-21-G-T-1240 also benefits from having an insulating sleeve over the pins, protecting them from short-circuiting. This makes them perfect for use in environments that require additional protection from electric shocks.

Conclusion

The HMTSW-104-21-G-T-1240 is a versatile rectangular connector that is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its simple, robust and reliable construction. It provides a secure connection that does not require additional locking devices, and its insulating sleeve provides protection from short-circuiting. The unique positive locking mechanism provides a pressure contact when inserted into the socket, ensuring reliable connection and data transmission.
