Connector Construction

MTSW-140-11-S-Q-225 connectors are composed of a housing, terminals and pins. The housing consists of two basic components, an insulating body and a metal shell. The insulating body is made of a high-grade engineering plastic. It contains a latch at one end of the connector. The metal shell serves to hold the insulating body together and protect the contacts from dust, moisture and other exterior contaminants.

Crimp Contacts

MTSW-140-11-S-Q-225 connectors feature crimp contacts, which is the most common type of electrical connection in modern electronic devices. A crimp contact is an electrical connection made with an external force applied to secure a pin or socket to an insulated wire. The connection requires a minimum amount of force to ensure that the electrical connection is secure and reliable.

Working Principle

The MTSW-140-11-S-Q-225 connector works on the principle of electrical current passing through the connector from one terminal to the other. This is possible because the terminals contain a small metal pin which is connected to an insulated wire. The force applied during crimping or soldering the pins ensures that a strong electrical connection exists between the terminals and the wires, allowing the flow of electricity. As the current passes through the connector, the metal shell acts as a shield to protect the contacts from dust, moisture, and other external contaminants.

Conclusion

The MTSW-140-11-S-Q-225 connector is an incredibly versatile and reliable rectangular connector with a wide range of applications in multiple industries. Especially useful are its crimp contacts, which are easily able to secure pins and sockets to an insulated wire, providing a secure and reliable electrical connection. The metal shell also serves to protect the connectors from external contaminants, ensuring the contacts remain clean and free from dust and moisture.
