MTMM-108-13-L-D-070

Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Male Pins

The MTMM-108-13-L-D-070 (otherwise known as MTMM) is a part of a larger collection of rectangular electrical connectors which are commonly referred to as headers, male pins, and other related terms. The common rectangular shape of the MTMM allows it to be used in multiple connector applications. The MTMM is typically used to connect wire-to-board and board-to-board, as well as in applications which require multi-pole and mixed interface connections.

Application Field

The MTMM is widely used in Telecommunications, Industrial, Datacom, and Automation industries across the world, as it provides both reliable electrical connections and cost savings, making it especially attractive for high-volume applications.

• Industrial, as the MTMM is highly resistant to frequent vibrations and shock encountered in automotive and industrial applications.
• Data and Telecom, as the MTMM is designed to protect against high frequency induction effects and other interferences.
• Aerospace, as the reliable and rugged construction of the MTMM ensures its suitability for extremely harsh conditions.
• Automotive, as its low-profile and highly secure contacts make the MTMM ideal for space-saving applications.

Working Principle

The MTMM features a two-piece construction with gold plated contacts. The connector has two rows of male pins, each row containing four groups of three pins spaced 0.155–inches apart. The connector has an insulated base which protects against electrical shock, and the pins are connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) via a press-fit, spring loaded connection.

The contact interface is designed to be extremely secure, yet easy to assemble and disassemble. The MTMM is constructed using precision tolerance parts, and has a low insertion force and a high mating cycle life.

Conclusion

The MTMM-108-13-L-D-070 is designed for applications which require high-speed connections and reliable performance. The gold plated contacts and two-piece design make the MTMM a cost-effective and resilient solution in many industries, from Aerospace and Automotive to Datacom and Industrial.
