MTSW-106-09-T-D-540

Rectangular connectors, commonly known as headers, are used to electrically connect two circuits. Headers have two parts: male pins and female sockets. MTSW-106-09-T-D-540 is one of the most popular rectangular headers. This article explains its application field and working principle.

The MTSW-106-09-T-D-540 is a 9-way surface mount rectangular header. It consists of two parts: an insulator body and a male pin. The connector has a 1.25mm centerline and a 6mm pitch. It is UL approved with a locking tab and a 4.7uA insulation resistance rating. The male pin has a 0.45mm terminal size and a 0.6mm thickness. It has contact resistance of 1.35 milliohms maximum. It is suitable for wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connections and is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 250°C.

MTSW-106-09-T-D-540 is widely used in the electronic industry. Due to its high quality and high performance, it is ideal for applications such as automotive, medical, industrial, and consumer electronics. The header is particularly suitable for power or signal transmission, thanks to its wide range of valid contact resistance and insulation resistance. In addition, it can be used in space-constrained environments and its small size makes it suitable for fine-pitch PCBs.

The working principle of the MTSW-106-09-T-D-540 is simple. When the male pin is inserted into the female socket, two contact points are created which provides electrical continuity between the two circuits. As the male pin is inserted deeper, more contact points are created. This ensures a reliable connection between the two circuits. The locking tab on the female socket secures the connection in place.

In conclusion, the MTSW-106-09-T-D-540 is a 9-way surface mount rectangular header that is highly reliable, durable, and easy to use. It is suitable for a wide range of applications in the electronic industry, such as automotive, medical, industrial, and consumer electronics. The connector is secured in place with a locking tab which ensures a reliable connection between two circuits.
