MMT-140-01-L-DH

Rectangular Connectors are one of the most common types of connectors used in the electrical and electronic industries. Headers, Male Pins, as part of the Rectangular Connector family, have many applications in consumer electronics, automotive, computers, telecommunications, and more. MM-140-01-L-DH is a good example of such a header.

MMT-140-01-L-DH is a single row right angle dip-type header, with 0.1 inch or 2.54 mm pitch. It\'s composed of a black insulator and tin plated contacts, made of copper alloy material. This header is available in 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 100 contacts per row, with maximum current capacity of 1.5 A. It\'s designed for use with other connectors, such as PCT-102-S-L, PCT-71-S-L, and other products.

The header offers secure connection and reliable performance, maintaining long-term contact stability. It\'s electromagnetic interference (EMI) compliant and is especially suitable for applications that involve harsh environmental conditions, such as vibration, shock, and high humidity. It\'s also cost-effective due to its fast assembly and low material cost.

The working principle of MM-140-01-L-DH is based on the principle of contact: when two objects are in contact with each other, an electrical current can be established or interrupted. To ensure that the contact is established, the grooves in the contact surfaces of the male and female connectors must be lined up correctly. The new contact interface is insulated from the rest of the circuit by a thin layer of insulation material. When the two contacts mate, they form a closed (uninterrupted) circuit pathway, allowing current to flow through. If the contact surfaces do not line up correctly, no current will flow, and a short circuit may occur.

In conclusion, MM-140-01-L-DH is a rectangular connector header with various features and benefits that make it a popular choice for various applications. It has a fast assembly time and low material cost, making it cost-effective. Furthermore, its reliable performance and secure connection make it well-suited for harsh environmental conditions.
