Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets: The M80-4000805

The M80-4000805 is a rectangular connector manufactured and distributed by Tyco Electronics, and falls under the category of rectangular connectors, namely headers, receptacles and female sockets. The M80-4000805 is a low-profile, surface-mount connector that is intended for use in data communication and consumer electronics.

Application Field of M80-4000805

The most common application field of the M80-4000805 is the assembly of communications and consumer electronic equipment, such as phones, tablets, computers, televisions and game consoles. Additionally, as these type of connectors are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, they can be used in applications such as industrial, automotive and medical applications for connectors that ensure the safety of critical equipment. The M80-4000805 is specifically designed for high-density applications and the most important benefits that it offers are a low profile and reliable connections.

Working Principle of M80-4000805

The M80-4000805 rectangular connector utilizes a reliable passive system that is based on the insertion of headers and receptacles into one another. Each connector has its own separate housing and mated housings are press-fitted together. A secure connection is established when the metal elements of the two housings are locked into each other. This connection is ensured not only by the mated housings being locked together, but also by the superior tensile strength of the terminals. The terminals are placed in the housings and outfitted with pins and contacts.

The M80-4000805 connector has a two-part internal connector design, which allows a more robust connection, as the individual connector parts can be mated with greater precision. Furthermore, this two-part design also offers the benefit of improved signal integrity, as the two parts fit closely enough to reduce the effect of misalignment. The M80-4000805 is equipped with contact retention mechanisms in order to ensure that the pins and contacts remain secure within their housings.

The M80-4000805 has contact retention mechanisms such as a stainless steel spring which provides a high level of retention for the contact and pin. Additionally, each contact has a positive locking feature which ensures that the contacts are locked into the housing. The contact and pin retention are further enhanced by the use of two springs which keep the contacts in place and which can also absorb any vibration or shock.

Conclusion

The M80-4000805 connectors fall under the category of rectangular connectors, namely headers, receptacles and female sockets. These connectors are typically used in applications such as communications and consumer electronics, as well as others that require a reliable connection. The M80-4000805 utilizes a reliable passive system based on the insertion of headers and receptacles into each other, using contact retention mechanisms such as stainless steel springs and positive locking features.
