HMTSW-120-23-F-D-237

Rectangular connectors, commonly referred to as headers, male pins, are an essential component in a large variety of electronic applications ranging from microprocessors and microcontrollers to diagnostic instruments and even mechanical applications.

The HMTSW-120-23-F-D-237 is a type of rectangular header specifically designed for use with 0.5mm pitch (centerline to centerline) surface mount devices (SMDs). It is a two-row dual position header with 120 pins, 23mm(w) x 41.90mm(l), and a melt-on ferrule.

The HMTSW-120-23-F-D-237 has three primary functions in the application field. First, it is used for surface mounting and soldering of SMDs. The second major function is to provide an interface between the board and other components, using a driven pin design. Finally, the melt-on ferrule may be intended to provide strain relief for the attached cable.

The working principle of the HMTSW-120-23-F-D-237 is relatively simple. When mated with the accompanying connector, the pins of the male connector slots into the female connector. The connection is then secured by the metal tabs on the female connector which snap into place, giving the connection an extra layer of mechanical support. If desired, the joint can also be secured with a solder joint to ensure a better electrical connection.

In addition to providing electrical and mechanical support, the design of the HMTSW-120-23-F-D-237 is also effective in aiding the cable management process. The design of the male header, which includes the melt-on ferrule, ensures that the cable remains secured. Additionally, it ensures that the connection is still secure and effective in high vibration environments.

The HMTSW-120-23-F-D-237 is an essential component for creating reliable, robust connections. It is designed for use with 0.5mm pitch SMDs and allows for the creation of a secure mechanical connection between boards and other components. The melt-on ferrule ensures a secure fit and provides strain relief to the attached cables and the pins are designed to provide a superior electrical connection.
