HTSW-144-24-S-D

The HTSW-144-24-S-D is a dual-row vertical header with two rows of 24 contacts. It is a part of the rectangular connector family, coming under the header, male pin sub-category. It has a 0.5mm square post, 2mm height, and 20mm centre to centre pitch between posts. This header is suitable for applications in the automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, medical electronics, and telecom spaces.

The rectangular connector family is made up of a variety of different products including headers, male & female pins, jacks and sockets, switches, breakouts and PCB related products. These products are designed to be used in applications where multiple wires or devices need to be connected in parallel, resulting in a secure connection system with high reliability. A variety of contact options (including wire wrap, crimp, solder, and surface mount) provide the user with a range of tight fitment solutions.

Features & Benefits

• Thru-hole termination allows for easy assembly and high reliability.
• Compatibility with a wide variety of contact materials and styles.
• Backwards-compatible with existing pluggable solutions.
• High contact density in a small area.
• Easily stackable for increased pin count.
• Robust design, suitable for high vibration, shock, and temperature extremes.

The HTSW-144-24-S-D is designed to have a very low profile, resulting in a compact and robust assembly. It has a positive latching mechanism to ensure the connection is secure and reliable, and is capable of special stacking options. The housing is made from durable black thermoplastic, making it resistant to shock and vibration, and temperatures from -40C to +105C.

Working Principle

The working principle of the HTSW-144-24-S-D is simple. The two rows of 24 pins are arranged vertically, with each pin being separated by 20mm on the centre-line. When two mating components come into contact, the pins spread slightly to ensure a securely engaged connection. The latching mechanism then locks the pins in place, preventing the two components from accidentally becoming disconnected.

The pins can be made from a variety of electrically conductive materials, including brass and copper. They are then plated with a protective layer to prevent them from corroding, and the tips are soldered to the housing. For applications that require a more secure connection, terminals can be crimped or inserted into the pins instead.

In addition to the low profile of the connector, its wide range of compatible materials and contact options make it suitable for a variety of applications. For automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, medical electronics, and telecom applications, the HTSW-144-24-S-D is a great choice for secure and reliable connections.
