MTSW-104-07-F-S-240

The MTSW-104-07-F-S-240 is a header type rectangular connector used for applications requiring compact, reliable, but yet versatile connectivity. It features 104 pins in two 7-pin rows, making it suitable for all sorts of project needs.

This connector is composed of a male header (or male pin) and a female socket, each with an array of pins arranged to facilitate the interconnection of the two components. The male header features two rows of seven pins each, with a row spacing of 0.1 inches (2.54 mm). The pins are slightly angled, allowing for easier insertion.

The female socket is fitted with an array of contacts which are designed to perfectly fit to the male pin. The contacts are arranged in two rows of seven each, and feature a ratchet mechanism which helps to hold the component in place after the male pin has been inserted. The ratchet mechanism also ensures that high-torque applications and vibration won\'t loosen the connection.

The MTSW-104-07-F-S-240 is a versatile connector and can be used in several applications. It is particularly suited for applications that require a large number of interconnections between two components. Applications can range from power distribution systems, to Ethernet and telecom networks, signal routing, instrumentation, and optical communications.

The working principle of the MTSW-104-07-F-S-240 is simple. When the two components are mated, the male header provides the electrical contact between each row of pins on the male pin and the corresponding contact on the female socket. The ratchet mechanism ensures that the connection is securely held in place, while the angled shape of the pins and the low contact resistance helps maintain the electrical contact.

In conclusion, the MTSW-104-07-F-S-240 is an ideal solution for applications requiring a reliable but compact connection. Its two rows of seven pins each, allows for a wide range of connections, while its ratchet mechanism ensures that the connection is secured and cannot easily be loosened.
