M80-5201842

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins,

M80-5201842 is a type of rectangular connectors, commonly referred to as headers, male pins, or simply "headers". The primary purpose of such connectors are for the connection of electrical components, including microcontrollers, sensors, power supplies, and other circuit board elements. This type of connector is often used in high-current applications, such as automotive use, robotics, and medical equipment.

Going further, M80-5201842 is a very popular type of rectangular connector, because it is able to support multiple configurations, including 2-position, 4-position, 10-position and even greater. In addition to being able to support a variety of configurations, M80-5201842 headers also boast high current and voltage ratings to ensure the device can support a variety of loads.

As far as the application field of M80-5201842, the most widely-used areas are automotive, robotics, and medical equipment. Automotive applications will see the use of M80-5201842 connectors to facilitate the connection of sensors, power supplies, and control boards, while robots often rely on these connectors to easily facilitate the integration of external modules into larger systems such as actuator arms and vision systems. And for medical equipment, M80-5201842 may be employed to facilitate the connection of machine-to-machine communication.

The working principle of M80-5201842 connectors is known for its flexibility. In terms of wiring, the M80-5201842 is designed to be placed between two boards. By employing a "hinged" layout pattern, installers have the ability to easily place and remove different types of boards and components with minimal effort. Additionally, a single connection point is allocated for each board, ensuring that connections are secure and capable of transferring high power currents.

As for the actual connection between boards, the M80-5201842 is designed to feature metal contacts that make contact with each board, creating an electrical connection. Furthermore, these metal contact points are also designed to be very durable, as they are coated with a thin layer of gold to prevent corrosion and enable a larger contact surface for optimal current transfer. Additionally, the pins utilized for the M80-5201842 connector are also available in any number of sizes, for electrical components that require larger or smaller connections.

In conclusion, the M80-5201842 connector is a versatile and reliable type of rectangular connector usually found in automotive, robot, and medical equipment applications. It features a "hinged" layout pattern, allowing for quick and easy placement and removal of boards, as well as a single connection point for each board to ensure secure connections for high power currents. Additionally, the metal contacts are coated with a layer of gold to prevent corrosion and ensure maximum current transfer.
