MTMM-112-02-F-S-008

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The rectangular connector MTMM-112-02-F-S-008 is an interconnect solution known as a header. This is a type of electrical connector featuring male pins, which are designed to fit into a printed circuit board (PCB) for multiple functions. These include transferring power or signals, or providing mechanical support.

Application Field

The rectangular connectors known as headers serve numerous applications in various industries. Commonly used in consumer electronics, this type of connector is increasingly seen in medical, aerospace, industrial, military and automotive applications as well.

For example, in medical areas, MTMM-112-02-F-S-008 connectors are often used to connect medical devices such as ECG machines and monitoring systems. On the other hand, headers are used in the automotive industry, particularly in automobiles, to ensure reliable connectivity between different components such as engine management systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MTMM-112-02-F-S-008 header is simple. It consists of male pins, which are inserted into a female connector, commonly mounted on a printed circuit board. This enables the connection of a circuit board containing various components to another circuit board. The electrical connection between the two is created by the resulting electrical contacts.

The contact between the two boards is ensured by the use of a spring-loaded latch or similar device. This ensures that the connection is secure and reliable, and prevents the two boards from separating. Additionally, certain types of headers also feature insulation that separates the electrical contacts from other components and help prevent short circuits.

Connectors such as the MTMM-112-02-F-S-008 header are also designed to support multiple types of current, ranging from low voltage to high voltage, depending on their specifications. This ensures compatibility with the various types of electrical current used in different applications.
