M80-5211442

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins have a wide range of applications and are used in various types of products. This connector style is often preferred for their easily stack-ability, which makes them suitable in tight spaces. The M80-5211442 connector is unique in its design and provide a reliable performance. It features a two piece design that includes a plug and a header. The plug contains two or three rows of male pins while the header may contain several rows of mounted circuit board mount pads.

Working principle

The working principle of M80-5211442 connector is based upon electrical connections between each of the separate pieces. Each column consist of two or three male pins, depending on the version, that are designed to mate into conductive plated apertures present on the female header. Once mated, electrical connection is established between the two rows of the male pins and that of the female header. This helps to ensure a reliable electrical connection and high level of performance. Additional features, such as polarization may be included into the M80-5211442 connector assembly. This feature helps to ensure proper alignment between the plug side and the header side. This is achieved by using different sizes and shapes on each side or rows that are not equally spaced.
