N3431-5305EB

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins can be used for a variety of purposes, from simulating a network of electrical components to connecting two or more wires in the same circuit. One of the more popular models of these connectors is the N3431-5305EB. It is a dual row, through-hole mount connecting solution for the connection of insulated wires in flat cables and printed circuit board (PCBs).

The N3431-5305EB has a standard 5.08mm (0.2 inch) pin to pin distance which is the most commonly used in industry. It also has a maximum voltage rating of 300 volts and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The N3431-5305EB has a robust metal housing which provides protection for the contacts within it. The housing also provides additional strength and stability which helps to reduce the risk of wire pulling or disruption during the assembly process. This makes the N3431-5305EB an ideal choice for applications where mechanical reliability is of the utmost importance.

The N3431-5305EB consists of two rows of posts which are both plated for contact with the PCB. One row is on the top side, while the other is on the bottom side, allowing through-hole connections to be made from one side of the board to the other. The pins are then inserted in the holes, and the collar is then screwed down. This creates a strong electrical connection between the two sets of wires.

The N3431-5305EB is mainly used in industrial automation and robotics, and other applications such as motors, power supplies, and lighting controllers. It is also popular in aerospace and defence projects, as well as consumer electronics and healthcare. This makes it a versatile and robust connector for a wide variety of applications.

The N3431-5305EB has several features that enhance its performance and reliability. This includes an integrated grounding lug which ensures the ground connections are secure, and a dustproof enclosure which helps protect against dust and dirt getting into the contact pins. It also has a foot-print of just 8.99mm by 6.98mm, making it small enough to fit in tight spaces.

The working principle of the N3431-5305EB is relatively simple. When current is applied to a circuit, the pins of the connector provide a path for the current to travel through. This is achieved by the physical contact between the two sets of pins, which creates a low resistance connection. This allows the current to flow between the two sets of pins without any disruption, providing a reliable connection between the two components.

In conclusion, the N3431-5305EB is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. Its reliable electrical connection, robust metal housing, and integrated features make it a popular choice for a range of industries. Its compact size and ease of use make it suitable for use in tight spaces and with difficult to connect components, making it a versatile solution for a variety of applications.
