MTMM-140-14-G-Q-600

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins represent a type of connectors used to connect or disconnect two electronic components. Among the most common types of rectangular connectors are MTMM-140-14-G-Q-600, which are highly specialized connectors used for a variety of applications.

MTMM-140-14-G-Q-600 Application Field

MTMM-140-14-G-Q-600 is mainly used in telecommunications devices for their easy and reliable connections of two circuits. It is a testing and measurement connector designed with six pin positions that fit to either parallel wire lines or to jumper cables. This type of connector is often used in distributed antenna systems (DAS) or Mobile Innovation Indoor Coverage (MIPC) systems for its ease of use and its ability to transmit high frequencies with minimal loss.

It is also suitable for low-profile, and congested connection points as the dimension of the MTMM-140-14-G-Q-600 is 14.4mm wide, 10mm high and 1.4mm thick. Specifically, it is the ideal solution for when mating space is limited, as it only requires 5.14mm of height to mate correctly.

In addition to its use in cell phone and telecommunications, the MTMM-140-14-G-Q-600 is also suitable for other signal transmission applications such as test and measurement, instrumentation, medical equipment, as well as avionics and other aerospace applications in which miniaturization, high-speed signals and ruggedness are essential features.

MTMM-140-14-G-Q-600 Working Principle

The MTMM-140-14-G-Q-600 connector utilizes a four-contact polarization technique. It consists of two plastic housings filled with four gold plated contacts each, locked into place via a retention latch. This ensures that the connector is robust enough to maintain a secure connection between the two circuits, regardless of vibrations or jolts of any kind.

This connector offers excellent performance in terms of signal integrity and an extended operating temperature range from -45°C to +105°C. In addition, it is also RoHS compliant, making sure it is free of hazardous materials.

MTMM-140-14-GQ-600 is equipped with two gold-plated terminals each, a plunger and a rounded plastic slot which meet to provide good electrical connections. Each contact body is approximately 0.15mm wide, with a height of 0.5mm. The four contacts are connected to each other by an insulating bridge, which prevents any short circuits between them.

The connector’s design makes sure that any interference with other electronic components or surrounding circuitry is kept to a minimum. Its shielded shell reduces the risk of EMI, and offers the user an insulation rating of 300V, making it well-suited for use in hazardous areas. Its low-profile design also allows it to fit into tight spaces, and the integrated latch mechanism keeps it securely locked when mated.

Conclusion

The MTMM-140-14-G-Q-600 is a reliable and versatile rectangular connector that is suitable for a variety of telecommunications, test and measurement, instrumentation, medical equipment, and aerospace applications. It utilizes four contacts and a retention latch to ensure a secure connection, and features a shielded shell to help reduce EMI. Finally, its low-profile design also allows it to fit into tight spaces, making it a great solution for applications that require high-speed signal transmission.
