HMTSW-144-27-S-Q-100

The HMTSW-144-27-S-Q-100 is an example of rectangular Connectors - Headers, with Male Pins. It is manufactured by various companies around the world, with differing specs and designs. Characterized by a durable, yet flexible design, this type of Connector is suitable for a variety of applications, and is generally found in consumer and professional electronic needs.

Primarily, HMTSW-144-27-S-Q-100 connectors are used in applications where electric signals must be transmitted between two separate pieces of hardware. This could be between two separate circuit boards, or as part of a larger system within an overall device. As the connector has male pins, it is typically the connector that is inserted into the socket. The socket is typically a female connector type, with holes (or receptacles) for the male pins to be inserted.

Taking the HMTSW-144-27-S-Q-100 as an example of such a connector, this particular model is designed with 27 individual pins spaced in a 144-pin rectangular pattern. The pins are made from high-strength steel which is nickel-plated, and it features a shrouded design. This type of design provides added durability and is also beneficial in terms of electrical interference. Generally, such connectors can be ordered with either solder, crimp, snap-in, or press-fit terminations.

In terms of the HMTSW-144-27-S-Q-100 connector’s working principle, it is designed so that each pin has one signal divided into two elements that run through the slot and socket connection. The two elements are then connected to two metal plates in the connector and are accessible by the pin around the slot. The two elements are separated by an insulator which prevents the flow of any direct current, and the pins are connected to the circuit boards via small wires. When the connector is connected, voltage is applied through both elements and the circuit is completed.

The HMTSW-144-27-S-Q-100 connector is primarily used in the telecommunications, consumer, and industrial electronics space. Common applications of this include using the connector for advanced telecommunication circuits, for interface and control boards, along with instrumentation, displays, and detectors. This type of connector is fairly versatile and is capable of being used in a range of complex applications, depending on the exact type of model and layout.
