HTSW-140-16-S-T

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The HTSW-140-16-S-T is a rectangular connector manufactured by Micro-D. It is a two-piece, mated, pin-and-sleeve style header, with a male pin connector on the bottom. This particular connector is designed for high-speed signal or power applications and is typically used in systems requiring multiple-segment and/or multiple-level pin connections. It is ideal for applications that require high vibration and shock tolerance, as well as high power efficiency.

The HTSW-140-16-S-T connector is constructed of high-temperature resistant thermoplastic material. It features 16 contact pins (with a ¼-36 pin-grid) that provides an exceptionally tight connection. The connector has an operational temperature range of -55°C to +105°C and a contact rating of 10 A.

The connector also includes an isolation housing that helps to prevent cross-talking and crosstalk noise. The housing also prevents dust and dirt from entering the contacts and interfering with the integrity of the connection. Additionally, the strain relief on the connector adds stiffness to ensure that the pins maintain snug contact over temperature and time.

Application Field and Working Principle

The HTSW-140-16-S-T is a two-piece connector system and is primarily used in high speed applications. It is commonly used in systems ranging from industrial automation and automotive to audio/video and fiber optics. Additionally, the connector is used in embedded systems, power supplies, and in communications applications, such as data centers, routers, switches, and computers.

The working principle of the HTSW-140-16-S-T is simple. The male pin connector is inserted into the female header and clips into place. This creates a secure mechanical connection and ensures an electrical connection between the disparate components. The pins are pressed together to ensure high power efficiency and secure contact. The isolation housing further ensures that the signal or power remains true over temperature and time.

In summary, the HTSW-140-16-S-T is a high-performance rectangular connector used in many high-speed applications. It provides a robust connection and offers excellent performance and power efficiency. The connector also ensures protection from dirt and dust, as well as crosstalk noise to ensure signal or power integrity. It is an ideal connector for many applications and can be used in industrial, automotive, and communications applications.
