MTMM-146-02-L-Q-070

The MTMM-146-02-L-Q-070 connector is a rectangular connector designed for interconnectivity of component assemblies and harnesses. It is part of the header male pins family of connectors and has a wide potential applications in many different electronic systems. This article will discuss the application fields and working principles of the MTMM-146-02-L-Q-070.

Application Fields

The MTMM-146-02-L-Q-070 is mainly used in the automotive industry, as it is designed to be used as a power supply connector in motor vehicles. It is also suitable for use in other consumer electronics due to its small size and flexibility. This connector is especially useful for applications where the power and signal assignment must be changed frequently or when flexibility of use is a requirement.

Working Principles

The MTMM-146-02-L-Q-070 consists of two main parts; the header pins and the contact pins. The header pins are located on one side of the connector and each one is designed to connect to specific points in the circuit. On the other side of the connector, the contact pins complete the connection between the two components. The two parts are held together by a housing that protects the two components from short circuits, mechanical shocks and environmental damage.

The connection between the header pins and the contact pins is created by two sets of mutually aligned contacts, one set is C type and the other set is S type. The C type contact pins are made up of two metal contact surfaces which are angled and arranged to ensure reliable contact every time. The S type contact pins are made of spring steel which ensures reliable contact between the two components.

The contact pins are designed to make electrical contact when they are plugged into the header pins. The force generated by the contact pins when the two parts are inserted enables a connection with low electrical resistance. The MTMM-146-02-L-Q-070 connector is rated for a mated contact current of up to 10 A and can withstand up to 5 cycles of connection/disconnection.

Conclusion

The MTMM-146-02-L-Q-070 is a versatile and reliable connector that finds wide applications in the automotive and consumer electronics sector. This connector is highly reliable when used as a power supply connection and it is designed to withstand a high number of connection and disconnections. Its small size allows flexibility of design and it can be used for applications that require frequent changes in power and signal assignments.
