MTMM-103-02-G-D-090

Application Field and Working Principle of MTMM-103-02-G-D-090

Mouser’s MTMM-103-02-G-D-090 is a type of rectangular connector. As a kind of headers, male pins, it is widely used in automotive, aerospace, datacom/telecom, industrial, medical, and other applications.

This connector consists of a mating pair of insulated terminals that interconnect electrical circuits. The female part has two rows of 14 socket contacts and this specific MTMM-103-02-G-D-090 provides two male pins. It provides excellent, reliable electrical connection.

MTMM-103-02-G-D-090 features a 1.27mm center line and 45 degree vertical mounting angular-PC compatible posts with a closed-end header housing. They are made of resilient and durable material with gold plating. Comparing with other mounting headers, this one could also be used in smaller devices. Therefore, it is a widely used rectangular connector.

Working Principle of MTMM-103-02-G-D-090

The key working principle of MTMM-103-02-G-D-090 connector is electromagnetic coupling. This connector features two array rows of metal pins enclosed within a housing. The metal pins are electrically insulated and cantilevers on a printed circuit board via soldering. When the mating header connector is inserted into the receptor, the metal pins bridge the gap between the two connectors and establish an electrical connection that allows the charge to move from one connector to the other.

Moreover, a secure mechanical connection is established between the two connectors due to the elasticity of the metal pins and the intense grip of the housing. The two mating connectors are secured together firmly due to the magnetic attraction between the metal pins. In addition, the connector’s header cover provides extra protection from moisture, dust, and other contaminants.

Conclusion

The MTMM-103-02-G-D-090 rectangular connector is widely used in automotive, aerospace, datacom/telecom, industrial, medical, and other applications. It provides excellent, reliable electrical connection and secure mechanical connection between two connectors due to the magnetic attraction between the metal pins. It is a great solution for small devices.
