M80-5120842

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

M80-5120842 is a standard rectangular connector which is available in two-, three-, four- and five-pin configurations. It is most commonly used in applications involving panel-mounting and electrical wiring, such as automotive and industrial control systems. The connector is typically soldered or crimped onto wires and then mated with a corresponding female socket. The products are easily assembled and feature a locking clip for secure connection.

M80-5120842 has chrome plated pins, a durable plastic body and easy to handle grip design for assembly on circuit board. The rectangular shape of the connector allows a higher density of pins compared to circular connectors. This makes it especially useful in applications with multiple wires and connections. Furthermore, the connector\'s sleek design helps keep the wires from becoming entwined or tangled, which can severely reduce the longevity of the product.

The M80-5120842 has a robust construction and is suitable for a wide variety of environmental conditions. The standard external grounding clips ensures secure connection even in harsh environments. The ground connection is also easier to attach since it does not require soldering. The male pins used in this rectangular connector feature a locking feature which reliably secures it against accidental disconnection.

The working principle of M80-5120842 is quite simple; its male pins enter the female socket and when they are pushed in to a certain point, the locking clip on the pin securely grips the edges of the socket. This prevents the pin from being pulled out and creates an electrical connection between the components. When the pin is pulled out it releases the grip, and the electrical connection is removed.

In conclusion, M80-5120842 is a reliable and easy to use solution for connecting multiple components. It features several advantages such as higher density of pins, a sleek design which reduces entanglement, a durable construction and an easy to handle assembly design. Its secure locking mechanism also helps prevent unintentional disconnection which is especially important in some applications.
