MTSW-140-08-G-S-320

MTSW-140-08-G-S-320 is a type of rectangular connector, referred to as a header and male pin connector. This product is designed and manufactured by Smith & Wesson, and is composed of two parts, the male pin and the corresponding female header.

The MTSW-140-08-G-S-320 is typically used as an interconnect between two circuits, typically in a single, short-run line such as a printed circuit board. Although this product is designed for general use, it is frequently used in consumer electronics, automobiles, automation, telecommunications, and medical applications.

The product consists of two parts: male pins and corresponding female headers. The male pins are made from stainless steel and have a gold plated contact area. The female headers are made from UL94V-0 rated polyamide and are also gold plated. The male pins have a contact area of 8 mm and are available in 2 to 16 circuits, with mounting options for through-hole or SMT. The female header has locking notches for secure connection and is available in various lengths.

The working principle of the male-female connector is that the male pin has a spring-loaded central pin. When the male pin is inserted into the female header, the spring loaded pin presses downwards onto the contact area of the female header. This provides a secure and reliable connection which is capable of carrying currents of up to 8 A maximum at a voltage of 320V AC/DC.

In addition to the high performance electrical contact, the MTSW-140-08-G-S-320 male-female connector has several advantages. It has a split-pin design which allows for easy assembly and flexibility. The product is also highly durable and vibration-resistant. The gold plating of the contacts also helps to reduce corrosion and ensure long life. Finally, the product is UL rated and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications.

The MTSW-140-08-G-S-320 male-female connector is an excellent choice for a variety of applications, offering reliable electrical contact, easy assembly, durability, and compliance with a wide range of safety requirements. As such, it is the perfect solution for any task requiring a reliable interconnect between two circuits.
