MTSW-105-08-T-D-288

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The MTSW-105-08-T-D-288 is an industrial-grade rectangular connector designed for a wide range of applications in the electrical industry. It features eight gold-plated bi-directional contacts in an eight-pin header.

Application Field

The MTSW-105-08-T-D-288 is an ideal choice for high current applications in industrial electronics, computer use, medical devices, telecommunications, and consumer electronics, among other settings. Featuring a small footprint and maximum current rating of 8A, this connector is a dependable choice for most applications. Additionally, its gold contacts are suitable for low noise, low voltage, and low frequency signal transmission.

Working Principle

The MTSW-105-08-T-D-288 operates by establishing an electrical connection between the eight pins of the header and the printed circuit (PC) board. This is done by simply plugging the connector into an existing header on the board. The pins of the header then contact with the corresponding pads on the board and a signal is generated. The signal can either be analog (e.g., modulation of current) or digital (e.g., a signal logic "1" or "0"). In order to ensure a consistent connection, the MTSW-105-08-T-D-288 makes use of strong metal retention clips, which hold the connector firmly in place while the other pins are locked into place by metal and/or plastic pins. The connector also features an additional strain relief feature to further secure the connection, as well as to provide additional flexibility.

In summary, the MTSW-105-08-T-D-288 is an effective and reliable rectangular connector. Its low profile and impressive current carrying capacity allow it to be used for a wide range of applications in the electrical industry. Its easy-to-assemble design also ensures consistent and secure connections.
