MTMM-117-04-F-D-140

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The MTMM-117-04-F-D-140 is a straight male pin connector used in the high-voltage electrical industry and in aviation and military applications. It consists of a two-pin configuration that can accommodate two wires or two conductors at each end. The male pin comes in two different centerline heights, each having two pins on either side. The taller centerline stands at 40mm and is used for high current applications while the shorter centerline stands at 25mm and is used for low voltage applications.

The MTMM-117-04-F-D-140 features a metal sleeve that is crimped onto the wire or conductor. This metal sleeve provides mechanical strain relief and ensures the integrity of the connection. It also features a molded keyed entry and a durable plastic body that prevent electrical shock or accidental disconnection of the pins. This connector is designed with a floating center pin that allows for easy installation.

This type of connector is used mainly in the electrical industry due to its excellent insulation resistance, reliable performance and cost-effectiveness. It can be used in wiring systems, automotive applications, power transformers, and aircraft wiring systems. It is also suitable for high-speed serial ports, DC/DC converters, and other interconnect systems.

Work Principle

The working principle behind the MTMM-117-04-F-D-140 connector is that it allows a current to flow between two points when electricity is supplied. The metal sleeve on the connector supplied a contact surface between the wire or conductor and the connector that helps in the efficient flow of current. A molded keyed entry provides stability in the connection and prevents accidental disconnection of the pins. The floating center pin allows for easy adjustment when the connector is installed in the system.

When the MTMM-117-04-F-D-140 is used in electrical systems, the current travels through the connector between the two points. This current flow is regulated by the resistance of the material inside the connector body and the electrical contact points between the pin and the contacts. The electrical contact points are the areas where the current passes through when the pins are connected to the contacts. The resistance of the material inside the connector body provides additional insulation and protection from electric shock.

The MTMM-117-04-F-D-140 connector is a great choice for a variety of applications. It provides reliable performance, cost-effectiveness, and excellent insulation resistance. It is used in electrical, automotive, and aircraft wiring systems, and is suitable for high-speed serial ports, DC/DC converters, and other interconnect systems. This connector is also ideal for applications requiring quick connect/disconnect capabilities.
