MTMM-149-02-L-S-070

For electronic projects and devices, the right connectors can make or break the functionality. Connectors are so important, in fact, that engineers put a lot of thought and energy into choosing the perfect part for any given application. MTMM-149-02-L-S-070 is one such part, and it’s classified as a rectangular connector with header male pins. Read on to learn about the application fields and working principles of MTMM-149-02-L-S-070.

Integrated Circuits and Board Level Connectors

MTMM-149-02-L-S-070 has a term position header, making it particularly well-suited for integrated circuits. Such chips often rely on dozens or even hundreds of connections and lines, and a term position header is the perfect way to structure the inputs, outputs, and power connections of an IC.

MTMM-149-02-L-S-070 is also ideal for board level connectors. Engineers commonly use these parts to link otherwise data-starved boards together and create space-saving, custom circuits. With the MTMM-149-02-L-S-070, engineers can add, remove, and rearrange boards particularly quickly.

SPIDR Architecture

MTMM-149-02-L-S-070 shares a number of features with other SPIDR connectors. SPIDR stands for Single Piece IDentification and Reordering, and it’s an especially fast, reliable technique for using rectangular connector parts. The core concept of the SPIDR architecture is that the male and female pins both come as single pieces, and there’s no need to attach pins to the contacts separately.

This saves on both time and money, and MTMM-149-02-L-S-070 leads the charge. The male pin terminals come pre-attached to the contacts, and the leaves and shells snap shut easily and tightly to form a secure connection.

Durability and Environmental Protection

The body of the MTMM-149-02-L-S-070 is a high-grade plastic, which is both lightweight and durable. It comes with a 40AUL current rating and can handle up to 300 volts. Additionally, most MTMM-149-02-L-S-070 parts come complete with outside of rubber boot to provide additional protection from the environment.

The rubber boot prevents the parts from collecting excessive dust or moisture, and it could potentially increase the expected lifespan by decades. It all depends on the environment and how often the pins and connectors need to be touched.

Conclusion

MTMM-149-02-L-S-070 is a rectangular connector with header male pins, and it’s well-suited to integrated circuits and board level connectors. The SPIDR architecture allows for especially fast connections and easy reordering, and the body of the part is made of a durable, high-grade plastic. The rubber boot provides some additional protection from the elements, and MTMM-149-02-L-S-070 could potentially last for decades with minimal maintenance.
