MTSW-116-21-L-Q-730

Rectangular Connectors: Headers, Male Pins

MTSW-116-21-L-Q-730 is a type of rectangular connector used in electrical applications. It is a part of the MTSW line of connectors manufactured by Amphenol, a major provider of electronic components. This particular connector consists of a molded plastic female header, male pins, and a wire-to-board interconnect. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a range of interconnect applications.

The female header of the MTSW-116-21-L-Q-730 is designed to fit into a standard .100” (2.54mm) spacing. The plastic housing is molded in two parts with four mounting pillars to ensure a secure fit. The header also includes two molded mounting lugs for mounting the connector to a panel or PCB. Inside the header is a plastic tray that supports the pins and prevents them from bending or being pulled out.

The pins of the MTSW-116-21-L-Q-730 are 2mm in diameter and feature a slotted design. They are designed to latch into the header using an insert-molding process, ensuring secure contact between the pin and the header. The pins also include solder pins for attaching them to the board.

The wire-to-board interconnect of the MTSW-116-21-L-Q-730 consists of an insulated cable that is routed through the header and two solder blades that pierce the cable insulator. This setup provides protection against vibration and electrical noise. It also prevents the connector from being pulled apart.

The MTSW-116-21-L-Q-730 is suitable for a range of applications, including automotive, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and industrial automation. It is designed to meet the requirements of UL, CSA, VDE and CE standards. It can withstand voltages of up to 60VDC or 125VAC, and has a high temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.

The MTSW-116-21-L-Q-730 is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a range of interconnect applications. Its two-part molded plastic design ensures a secure and robust connection between the female and male pins. Its insulated cable and two solder blades provide protection against electrical noise and vibration, while also preventing the connector from being pulled apart. This type of rectangular connector is suitable for a range of applications and is designed to meet a variety of standards.
