M22-2011105

The M22-X series of rectangular connectors, more commonly referred to as headers, are devices used to connect electrical components, such as circuit boards, modules, cable, and sensors. M22-X connectors are designed to provide a robust electrical connection with a minimal cross-section. They are typically made of plastic and are available in a variety of forms including male pins, which can be broken down into individual wire contacts or can be soldered into a printed circuit board (PCB).

The M22-X series of headers are typically used for applications that require a robust electrical connection in a tight space. Common applications for M22-X headers include automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and communications systems. In addition to providing a secure connection between components, M22-X male pins are an ideal choice when operating in temperatures up to 150°C and in harsh environments such as moisture or dust exposure.

M22-X headers are available in a range of sizes, with different combinations of female and male pins to meet specification requirements. The size of each header is determined by the number of female and male pins, the size and pitch of the pins, the length of the pins, and the current rating. As an example, a standard M22-X header may include 8 female pins with a 2.54 mm pitch and a 0.8 mm pin diameter, along with 8 male pins with a 2.54 mm pitch with a 0.8 mm pin diameter.

The working principle of M22-X headers is based on electrical contact connection. When two M22-X male pins are joined together the electrical contact connection is made, allowing for the transfer of power and/or data. All M22-X connector contacts are made with a high-precision surface finish, which ensures a low contact resistance and an effective transfer of power and/or data. Additionally, the inner contact is designed with a sealing ring that provides extra protection against dust and other environmental contaminants.

M22-X headers are designed to be durable, robust, and reliable. They are usually covered with a protective plastic housing to reduce the risk of shock and short circuits. Additionally, the pins come with a variety of protective end caps and strain relief to eliminate contact damage during cable flexing and vibration. The M22-X series of headers are also compliant with the IEC 60664-1 standards, making them an ideal choice for applications requiring a secure and reliable connection.

In summary, M22-X headers are widely used in a variety of applications due to their reliable and secure connections, robust construction, and the ability to work in harsh environments. They are an ideal choice for when electrical components, such as circuit boards, modules, cable, and sensors need to be connected in a tight space.
