HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA Application Field and Working Principle

HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA rectangular connectors/ headers are used for the power and signal contacts in many electronic equipment. The power contacts are used to transfer signals between PCBs and other peripherals, while the signal contacts facilitate communication between components. The power and signal contacts are positioned here with precise care to ensure uninterrupted signal output and correct placement of components. HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA connectors can be used on wall mountable and DIN 41653-compliant plates.

The standard size of the HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA connectors is 9.5 mm x 15 mm. The dimensions of the socket represent the total height x width of the rectangular housing, while the pin spacing of the contact terminal is 5 mm.

The HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA connectors employ an 18-pin configuration, with 14 power terminals and 4 signal contact terminals. The total number of pins is multiplied by two to form a single socket. So the total number of pins would be 36. The pins could be further divided into 2 parts: the upper part for the power terminals and the lower one for the signal contacts.

The HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA connectors have a pitch of 5 mm and each pin has a pitch of 1.2 mm. The pins also have an operating temperature range of -20°C to 105°C. The power contacts are coated with a fuel-resistant insulation while the signal contacts are plated with gold for better contact.

The HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA connectors are suitable for high-end product applications in the industrial, automotive and consumer electronics markets. It is a reliable and durable option for PC boards since they have a high current rating and are compatible with a wide range of connectors. The high-frequency loss and heat resistance capability allows the device to be used for various medical equipment, consumer electronic devices, communication devices, displays, satellite navigation systems, military electronic devices and home automation.

The principle of operation for HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA connectors follows the conventional method. When the socket is inserted into a mating connector, connections are made between the corresponding power and signal pins. The electrical contacts form a bridge between the two connectors and the data is transmitted along these contacts.

The functioning starts by threading the two connectors’ contacts together. By threading the contacts, a physical connection is established. This physical connection enables an electrical contact to develop. As the electrical contacts touch, a resistive pathway is formed. The resistance along the path allows current to be transferred from one component to another. This current transfer is how data is transmitted between the components. The connections are maintained as long as the contacts are threaded.

To ensure that the power and ground contacts do not get shorted, a high-frequency loss should be present between them. Furthermore, the HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA connectors are designed with these features:

• High current rating – 20A.
• Safe grounding contacts.
• High-frequency loss.
• Heat resistance.
• Compatibility with a wide range of connectors.
• IP65-level protection.

These features make the HTSW-213-16-F-D-RA connectors a reliable and highly efficient option for connecting power and signal wiring on many heavy-duty electronic systems.
