HTSW-108-16-G-S-RA

Rectangular connectors are used in a variety of applications, from automotive to industrial. Due to their widespread application, they have earned a reputation as being reliable and cost-effective. The HTSW-108-16-G-S-RA is one such connector designed and built by Hirose, one of the most trusted and renowned manufacturers of high-end electronic components. This connector is specifically designed for easy and efficient connection to printed circuit boards, with its small form factor and highly reliable electrical performance.

The HTSW-108-16-G-S-RA connector is made up of a sixteen pin male header mounted on a standard 2.54mm pitch connector. The male header is rated for 10A current and 300V voltage, making it one of the most powerful rectangular connectors available in the market. The HTSW-108-16-G-S-RA also boasts a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, and is IP69-rated for use in wet and harsh environments. The connector is available in various lengths ranging from 8mm to 60mm, making it suitable for almost any application.

The working principle behind the HTSW-108-16-G-S-RA connector is relatively simple. It utilizes a self-indicating type of male header which is designed to be inserted into the female socket on the printed circuit board. The male header has two rows of eight pins, each of which is spring-loaded and designed to make a secure electrical connection with the board. Once the male header is fully inserted, the spring-loaded pins on the header extend and make a secure electrical connection with the board. This integrated electrical connection feature is typical to most rectangular connectors, and is extremely reliable in nature.

The HTSW-108-16-G-S-RA is used in applications where high current and/or voltage is required, such as in industrial automation and automotive. This connector is also ideal for applications where a high temperature rating is required, such as in engine management systems or in medical equipment. This versatile connector can also be used in printers, copiers, and other consumer electronic devices, making it a highly versatile and essential component for any application.

In conclusion, the HTSW-108-16-G-S-RA is a highly reliable and versatile rectangular connector designed and built by Hirose. It utilizes a self-indicating type of male header and boasts a current rating of 10A and a voltage rating of 300V, making it suitable for a variety of applications. Its temperature range of -40°C to +125°C also makes it well-suited for use in extreme environment. All in all, the HTSW-108-16-G-S-RA is an invaluable addition to any circuitry and application.
