MTMM-116-07-G-D-285

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Introduction

MTMM-116-07-G-D-285 is a rectangular connector, which belongs to the family of Headers, Male Pins. The housing is a metal alloy shells of stamped ends, and all joints are molded with thermosetting plastics and anti-chemical agents. It has a mated reveal code at the pins for visual contact verification.

Application Field

Connectors of this type can be used for a variety of computer interfaces, including laptops, desktops, and other electronic equipment. They are primarily used for connecting boards or modules in order to facilitate the transfer of data or signals within a microprocessor. The most common applications for this connector type are for DC power, communications systems, peripheral interfaces, and industry-standard circuits. Specifically, they are designed to ensure reliable connections, even in vibration-prone environments.

Specifications

MTMM-116-07-G-D-285 is rated at a maximum current rating of 60A, a rated voltage of 300VAC and an operation temperature range of -20°C to +85°C. It has a high insulation resistance, a low dielectric loss, and a maximum contact resistance of 1.5mΩ. Furthermore, it also has a rugged construction with a certification of UL-94-V-0 for use in high-temperature, heavy-duty applications.

Working Principle

The MTMM-116-07-G-D-285 is a versatile connector, which consists of two parts – the outer housing and the inner terminals. The outer housing is made up of a metal alloy shell that provides a tightly interfaced connection. It also safeguards the inner contacts from dust and moisture. The inner terminals are male pins, which are designed to fit into different types of female headers.

The inner terminals feature a "reveal" code system, which allows for visual verification that the connection is secure and proper. This code is an exclusive system of a series of notches and profiles that indicate whether the connection has been made properly or not. On the pins, the pins feature a metal junction to ensure that the pins are properly connected. This ensures an electrical current is uniformly conducted throughout the connection.

When connecting the pins and headers, a process called "gluing" is used to increase the reliability of the connection. Gluing is the process of using a special liquid compound, usually rosin, to fill any gaps between the pins and headers. This minimizes the risk of the pins and headers coming apart during vibration.

Conclusion

The MTMM-116-07-G-D-285 is a versatile rectangular connector, which is well-suited to many electronic applications. The housing is made from a metal alloy shell and all joints are molded with thermosetting plastics and anti-chemical agents for increased durability and protection. It features a “reveal” code system, which allows for visual verification that the connection is secure and proper. Furthermore, it is also rated for a maximum current of 60A and a voltage of 300VAC. Thanks to its versatile design and rugged construction, the MTMM-116-07-G-D-285 is an ideal choice for any application that requires reliable connections, even in vibration-prone environments.
