LTMM-122-02-L-D

Rectangular connectors are used to make a robust electrical connection between two or more devices. Headers, male pins, and receptacle housings are the most commonly used forms of these connectors. The LTMM-122-02-L-D is a type of male pin connector, specifically used in surface-mount and through-hole applications such as logic boards, telecommunications, and consumer electronics.

The LTMM-122-02-L-D has two parts, the pin and the receptacle housing. The pin is a two-part component, consisting of a positive contact pin and a negative contact pin. When plugged in, the two contact pins are pushed into the outer metal housing of the receptacle. The resulting electrical connection completes the circuit and allows for proper power, ground, and signal flow throughout the system.

The LTMM-122-02-L-D is especially well suited for surface-mount applications because of its low profile. The two contact pins are roughly 2.5 mm in length, making them shorter than most other male pin connectors. This reduced length makes the connector easy to mount in shallow cavities or where space is limited.

The LTMM-122-02-L-D\'s receptacle housing also helps make it a great choice for surface-mount applications. The housing is made of metal and has a corrosion-resistant gold plating over the entire surface. The gold plating helps protect the pins from electrical arcing at high voltages, as well as from physical damage and wear and tear. It also helps to keep the maximum contact pressure between the pins and the housing uniform.

The LTMM-122-02-L-D connector can also be used in through-hole applications. Its two contact pins are held in position by a spring-loaded latch which engages with the corresponding hole in the board when the connector is inserted and potted into place. This design ensures that the connector will remain securely in place during operation, and will not be jarred loose if the board is bumped or moved. The connector also has an L-shaped keyed guide, which helps ensure that it is correctly aligned and inserted into the board.

In conclusion, the LTMM-122-02-L-D is a versatile male pin connector that is well suited for both surface-mount and through-hole applications. Its low profile makes it ideal for shallow cavities and tight spaces, while the two contact pins and gold-plated housing provide superior electrical protection and reliable connections. The spring-loaded latch and keyed guide also provide mechanical assurance that the connector will stay securely in place during operation.
