TMM-137-04-S-Q

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins has various types and one of the most commonly used connector is TMM-137-04-S-Q. It is a two way connector with pins made of brass and with gold plating over it. The primary application of these connectors is found in the internal connections used in the electronic devices like computers, laptops, telecommunication equipment, print mechanisms and other similar devices.

The working principle of TMM-137-04-S-Q connector is quite simple. It has two parts, male and female, which when connected ensure a solid connection which is electrically sound. The male pins of the connector have small brass caps instead of having plain metal pins and these brass caps allow the connection when connected to the female connector. The gold plating over the pins ensure the durability and strength of connection.

The internal mechanism of the male and female parts of the TMM-137-04-S-Q connector is very important in order for it to function at its best. The female pins of the connector are shorter when compared to the male pins. Inside the female part of the connector there are cavities which catch the brass caps of the male pins. This ensures that the connection is strong and secure even after numerous times of plugging and unplugging the connector. At the same time the gold plating over the male pins also helps in ensuring the secure connection and enhances the durability of the connection.

The TMM-137-04-S-Q connector is used mainly for internal applications due to its construction and design. The connector is not suitable for outdoor applications because it is not waterproof and it also tends to corrode easily if exposed to moisture. In order to avoid corrosion, the connector must be sealed properly using a suitable heat shrink tubing and a silicon based gel.

Apart from its typical use in the internal connections of electronic equipment, the TMM-137-04-S-Q connector can also be used in temporary or prototype applications. Its small size and easy to use design makes it suitable for such applications. With proper care and relocation, the connector can be used more than once without having any loss of connection strength. The gold plating over the pins also ensures the durability and resilience of the connector in such applications.

The TMM-137-04-S-Q connector is a reliable and secure connection solution used in various applications including internal connections in the electronic devices. The connector is not suitable for outdoor applications because of its construction and lack of water resistance. The gold plated pins and brass caps are designed to ensure longevity and durability of connection and also allow it to be used multiple times for prototype or temporary applications.
