Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The MTSW-210-09-S-Q-430-RA is an ideal rectangular connector for both headers and male pins in applications ranging from computer cards to industrial control applications. It is a standard male-to-female pin connector, featuring a 2.10mm center-to-center spacing, a wide variety of standard sizes and pitches, right angle angled through holes, and customizable configurations for applications requiring multiple rows and pins.

Applications

The MTSW-210-09-S-Q-430-RA is typically used in computer cards, application-specific boards, industrial control systems, consumer electronics, and computer peripherals. It is primarily used to connect device pins to circuit boards, providing a secure connection that requires minimal maintenance and provides reliable electrical contact.

Construction

The MTSW-210-09-S-Q-430-RA consists of an insulated rectangular body and a sequence of male and female pins. The pins sit in the insulated body at the specified right angle angle which is typically defined by an automated machine. The body is constructed of composite nylon PA6 engineered to specifically resist flame and temperature. The pins are then inserted into the body and are usually assembled by a robotic or automated process. This connector is also offered as an unassembled version whereby the customer assembles connectors to their specified design and requirements.

• Rugged design: The rectangular body and pins are designed to withstand shock and vibration, making MTSW-210-09-S-Q-430-RA ideal for tough environments.
• Wide range of sizes and pitches: MTSW-210-09-S-Q-430-RA comes in a variety of standard sizes and pitches, catering to a wide range of connection requirements.
• Ease of assembly: This connector is offered both as an assembled and unassembled version, facilitating easy installation for the customer.
• High electrical reliability: The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical contact. The rugged design and insulated body also reduce the risk of shorts, resulting in improved electrical reliability.

Working Principle

In its simplest form the MTSW-210-09-S-Q-430-RA consists of a basic male-to-female pin connector. The pins are inserted into the insulated body so that the male pins are on the outside, and the female pins are on the inside. As the connector is mated, the male pins slide into the female pins, forming a complete electrical connection. Depending on the application, the pins may also be wired with appropriate cable. The assembly is then secured with standard mechanical retention clips.

Conclusion

The MTSW-210-09-S-Q-430-RA is a versatile rectangular connector designed for a variety of applications, and features a compact size and shape, rugged construction, wide range of sizes and pitches, and high electrical reliability. It is an ideal connector for both headers and male pins used in computer cards, industrial control systems, consumer electronics, and computer peripherals, and can be easily assembled for most application needs.
