HMTSW-132-09-S-T-320-NA

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are an essential component of the modern electronics and telecommunication industries. In particular, HMTSW-132-09-S-T-320-NA is a type of vertical male pin header that features 13 pins and 2.54 mm pitch and 10 mm pin length. This versatile and reliable board-to-board connector is mostly used in aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, and data communications applications.

At first glance, this type of rectangular connector seems complicated as it is composed of many components, parts, and terms, but a deeper look reveals its simple role and working principle. Basically, it provides a reliable electrical connection between electrical board and electronic device on a PCB. Essentially, board-to-board connectors are employed to transfer signals, power, and data from one board to another while maintaining the same electrical characters, such as resistance, impedance, capacitance, and inductance.

The controller board has several pads where the male pin is inserted into it. It is helpful to draw a diagram or have a table of reference when looking at a pins layout. Generally, the two boards are held together with screws, nuts, and bolts. The electrical connection of the pads and pins are made by soldering the pins onto the pads. After soldering, the individual components are then connected via the connection sections, terminal blocks, and mounting holes.

To ensure high contact reliability and continuous electrical contact, one of the key features of the HMTSW-132-09-S-T-320-NA is the presence of metal clip spacer bars. These metal clips are inserted into the plastic area of the header and keeps the female socket connector securely in place. Besides, the presence of the clip-in locking mechanism also ensures that there is no movement or vibration of the female socket connectors.

Since HMTSW-132-09-S-T-320-NA features a 2.54 mm pitch, it is suitable for mass production processes and is also suitable for automated manufacturing equipment. It is also capable of working at a voltage range of up to 320V for high precision communication applications. By using it in the applications mentioned above, it offers good performance even in the presence of strong electromagnetic interference.

To sum up, HMTSW-132-09-S-T-320-NA is a reliable and cost-effective vertical male pin header suitable for a wide range of applications, ranging from aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, and data communications. It is designed with durable components and metal clips spacer bars to provide reliable electrical connections, and its pitch ensures that it is suitable for a variety of automated devices.
