MTMM-108-07-G-D-246

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The MTMM-108-07-G-D-246 rectangular connector is a mid-size rectangular connector with a 3.2 mm pin spacing and a 3.3 mm board edge. This connector family is suitable for the transmission of power, data, and/or signalling between two mating components. It is designed for use in a wide variety of applications such as on small electronic appliances, industrial equipment, and medical devices.

Application Field

The MTMM-108-07-G-D-246 rectangular connector is mainly used as a low-to-medium power transfer connector for applications such as home appliances, industrial equipment, medical devices, and control systems. It is suitable for transmission of power, data, and/or signalling between two mating components where space is limited.

Working Principle

The MTMM-108-07-G-D-246 rectangular connector is a type of combination connector, consisting of a female edge connector with contacts housed on a receptacle, and a male pin connector with contacts housed on a header. When these two components are mated, the contacts on the header slots into the receptacle slots and a variety of electrical connections are made.

The female and male pins feature a combination of insulation displacement contacts (IDCs) and through hole contacts, depending on the application. Male pins are inserted into the female connector, and the pins permanently secure the two connectors together, forming a reliable and secure electrical interface. The contacts are designed in order to mate under a low normal force, and several contact designs ensure superior electrical properties.

Advancements

The MTMM-108-07-G-D-246 rectangular connector is equipped with several advancements, including a self-centering two-piece board edge lock. This ensures robust and reliable connection with minimal to no stress on the connector while providing mechanical protection and electrical insulation. Furthermore, the connector features a beam-type contact which, compared to other contact designs, provides superior electrical and mechanical properties, ensuring reliable long-term operation with no risk of contact slippage.

The connector family is also available with optional guide pins, designed to enable fast and secure connection while reducing misalignment forces. It is also also available with optional strain relief, which helps prevent damage to cables by absorbing vibration and absorbed forces caused by cable movement.

Conclusion

The MTMM-108-07-G-D-246 rectangular connector is a versatile, durable and reliable connector that is designed for a wide variety of applications. It is equipped with several advancements that help ensure robust connection with minimal to no stress on the connector, as well as superior electrical and mechanical properties that provide reliable long-term operation.
