TMM-119-01-LM-S-RA-005

Introduction

The TMM-119-01-LM-S-RA-005 (hereinafter referred to as "TMM119") is an industrial-grade rectangular-shaped header connector designed by Allied Electronics Inc. Specifically, it is an 8-pin, single-row, male pin (post) header ideal for applications requiring through hole mounting.

Construction

The TMM119 consists of a black degreased thermoplastic base with 8 bright-tin plated male pins arranged in a single row. The contacts are made from copper alloy, and feature a current rating of 1A. The base is equipped with a retainer clip that secures it to a panel or circuit board when the connector is mated.

Application Field

The TMM119 is primarily used as an input or output connector in industrial control and process automation applications. It is commonly found in applications involving programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and stepper motor controllers. Its small size and low current rating makes it ideal for low-power applications, such as sensors and signal conditioning circuits. It can also be used in telecommunications, electrical and instrumentation systems.

Working Principle

When the TMM119 is connected to a power source or load, electrical current moves from the power source to the load. This electrical current then passes through the contacts of the connector pins, and is regulated by the retainer clip to prevent excessive current from flowing through the contacts. The contacts are plated with bright tin to eliminate corrosion and ensure maximum conductivity.

When the connector is disconnected from the power source or load, the contacts disconnect automatically and the current stops flowing. This ensures the safety of the users and prevents any potential damages that could occur as a result of excessive current flow.

Conclusion

The TMM-119-01-LM-S-RA-005 is a single row, 8-pin male pin header connector ideal for electrical input and output applications in industrial control and process automation. The contacts of the connector are made from corrosion-resistant copper alloy, and are kept in place by a retainer clip that prevents excessive current from flowing through the contacts. In conclusion, the TMM-119-01-LM-S-RA-005 offers reliable performance, making it the perfect connector for various low-power applications and environments.
