MTSW-108-11-G-D-380

MTSW-108-11-G-D-380 is a type of rectangular connector from the range of Headers, Male Pins. This particular connector is an IP67 rated or Watertight Socket connector with a panel mount or through-hole style design. It is an all metal construction for maximum durability and connector longevity.

The application fields of the MTSW-108-11-G-D-380 vary in the following aspects: industrial and commercial, instrumentation, and robotics and automation. It is used in a host of industrial applications such as wind turbines, food processing, water treatment, oil & gas, and medical equipment. It is also used in commercial applications such as lighting, telecom, renewable energy, crane systems, and conveyor systems. Its use in instrumentation typically includes industrial measurement and control apparatus, as well as mobile platforms, aerospace, railway and automotive solutions. In robotics and automation, the connector is utilised in the manufacture of transport systems, robots, portable and wearable equipment.

The working principle of the MTSW-108-11-G-D-380 connector is fairly straightforward. The front side of the connector is bifurcated into two columns of eight pins or header pins. Each of the terminals is pre-loaded with a wire which is then connected to its respective pin via the pinned contacts. When the connector is mounted into the pre-drilled holes of the host board, the proper mating of the four corner pins ensure a secure connection. Additionally, the terminal housing is designed such that it exerts a positive locking force on the header pins. This ensures that once the assembly is complete, it stays in place whatever the environmental conditions.

The connection is made water tight by inserting an EP-grade rubberized gasket between the connector and the host board, thus providing an IP67 rated seal that serves to protect the electrical current flow from any water or moisture damage. Furthermore, all the components of the connector are made from quality materials, ensuring that it has the necessary electrical and mechanical properties for withstanding harsh conditions and movements.

All in all, the MTSW-108-11-G-D-380 is an excellent solution for use in environments where reliable waterproofing is necessary. Its metal construction and rubberized seal make it a sound choice for both industrial and commercial applications, instrumentation, and robotics and automation.
