Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Male Pins

Connector products offered from leading manufacturers such as TE Connectivity and Molex, are widely used in many types of applications ranging from custom DIY to military and aerospace applications. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of a connector, specifically MTMM-108-07-G-D-306.

Application Field

The MTMM-108-07-G-D-306 is a versatile rectangular connector with gold plated contacts. It has the following ratings; 9A/pin max, 60VAC/VDC max and temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. Typical applications include automotive, communicaion, consumer, industrial, and medical.

For automotive applications, the connector is designed to provide reliable power and signal connections for a wide variety of automated components. In communications, the connectors are excellent for use with routers, switches, wireless bridges, routers, and other networking devices. The connector is also popular for use in consumer home products such as TVs, washing machines, and microwave ovens.

In industrial and medical applications, MTMM-108-07-G-D-306 connectors are often used in machines that require connections of resistance to high temperature and vibration. Examples include high-performance machine tools, medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and temperature-controlled process tools.

Working Principle

The MTMM-108-07-G-D-306 is also equipped with a unique spring-cage contact mechanism which makes for reliable electrical connections. The function of the spring-cage contact is to provide the necessary pressure to resist excessive mechanical forces and electrical surges. The spring-cage contact is also designed to prevent any damage to the conductor internals due to wear and corrosion.

When the connector is mated, the contact is pushed down into the housing and the spring-cage contacts make contact with the pins. This makes a secure connection between the contact and pin. The contact springs back once the mating is complete, creating the electrical connection. The contacts are designed to withstand vibration and high temperatures, ensuring stable signal transmission.

To ensure compatibility, MTMM-108-07-G-D-306 connectors are available in both male and female pins. The male pins are available in standard or reverse polarity, while the female pins are available in standard only.

Conclusion

The MTMM-108-07-G-D-306 rectangular connector is a versatile product that can be used in many applications. Its spring-cage contact mechanism ensures stable electrical connections and its rugged construction makes it suitable for use in temperature-controlled environments. The connector is also available in both male and female to ensure compatibility with various devices.
