PTC29SFBN

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The PTC29SFBN is a rectangular connector from Molex. It is a three-row, four-position header, with 3.75mm pitch, that is used for many applications. This type of connector is often used for communication, power, and data interfaces in data acquisition, automotive, and communication devices.

Characteristics

The PTC29SFBN connector has a 0.7mm centerline and mounted snap-in mounting orientation. It has a terminal width of 2.54mm, and it has a current rating up to 2A. This type of connector has UL 94V-0, UL1979, JIS C-6505-1, IEC 60512 Approval, is RoHS-compliant, and is designed to meet UL E50856 requirements.

The PTC29SFBN connector features a molded type tool and a two-piece locking mechanism. It has a self-locking header, with nickel-plated copper alloy crimp and gold-plated phosphor bronze terminals. It also has a polarized header, which helps reduce the possibility of improper installation and also allows color coding of the connectors.

Applications

The PTC29SFBN connector is well-suited for many types of applications, including automotive, communication, and consumer electronics. It is also used in data acquisition systems, analog-to-digital converters (ADC), printer and scanner hubs, and medical equipment. The low current rating, vibration resistance, and secure locking mechanism make it well-suited for applications in harsh operating environments.

Working Principle

The working principle of the PTC29SFBN connector is based on a two-piece locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is intended to increase the strength and reliability of the connector. To install the connector, two mating halves are slid together, and then locked into place with the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is designed to securely maintain the position of the two halves once they are joined, even when subjected to vibration.

Once the two halves are locked into position, the terminals make electrical contact and provide the intended connection. This type of connection is designed to provide a reliable and consistent connection, which is highly resistant to vibration and shock.

Conclusion

The PTC29SFBN is a rectangular connector from Molex that is suitable for a variety of applications. It is a three-row, four-position header, with 3.75mm pitch, and a terminal width of 2.54mm. It has a current rating up to 2A and is designed to meet UL E50856 requirements. The PTC29SFBN features a molded type tool and a two-piece locking mechanism, which helps to create a secure, reliable connection.
