TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC

TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC connectors are one type of common rectangular connectors and part of the widespread family of headers and male pins. Manufacturers frequently use this type of connector because their design makes them ideal for a range of applications, including industrial machines, data processing equipment, robotics, audio-visual equipment, power supplies, and telecommunications. It is not uncommon to find these connectors populating the interior space of contemporary electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, and other portable gadgets.

TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC connectors are designed as two-part connectors with an integral male (pin) and female (socket) counterpart. On the pin side, the connector is often referred to as the header, while the socket side is referred to as the receptacle. Coming in a variety of shapes and sizes—from tiny 0.25 mm housings to large 1.25 mm wide—the TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC series is designed in a 40-pin configuration with board-to-cable mating technique. It is designed with a precision-machined contact interface and two plastic polarization keys in the insertion slot of the receptacle to key the assemblies for reliable mating and help prevent accidental mismating due to incorrect insertion.

A major benefit of the TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC series is its wide operating temperature range, which spans from -55 Celsius to +125 Celsius. Another invaluable advantage is its low contact resistance which at mated provides optimal conductivity and efficient transmission. Moreover, this series also features high-current capabilities, with each contact rated up to 10.0 Amps. With ultra-low signal loss and signal integrity, this series is rated anti-vibration environments up to 10 Gs and shock up to 30 Gs.

TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC connectors are designed for solid and stranded wire applications. Depending on the signal requirements, pin-to-pin mating may be used to create consistency and reliability. All TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC connectors are manufactured to meet the specifications of MIL-A-5254 and meet the stricter German Army standard. They also offer excellent resistance to shock, salt spray and miniature vibrational movement; great for applications like in-vehicle hubs.

This series also include green solventless halogen free construction and surface mount version. Additionally, there is also UHV (Ultra High Vacuum) version which provides superior vacuum compatibility ideal for vacuum technology and space exploration. The TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC series is the ideal choice for high-reliability, high-performance applications in harsh environments.

The working principle of TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC connectors is similar to any other type of rectangular connector. The two parts (male and female) mate to establish electrical connections between the two parts and the circuits to which they are connected. The connection is made when the female part (socket) is inserted into the male part (header). The two polarization keys then slide into two corresponding grooves in the insert slot of the receptacle, thus keying them and ensuring a reliable connection.

The contacts of the male pin are inserted into corresponding holes in the female socket. As the male pin is inserted, there is an audible click, which indicates a positive mechanical lock in position. This helps ensure that the connector remains secured and stable even if the device is subjected to vibrations or extreme shock. The contact interface also ensures that the contacts have the desired firmness to ensure a low-contact resistance and efficient transmission.

The TMMH-140-01-L-D-FC series of connectors provides reliable performance in harsh environments, from industrial control systems to audio-visual systems. Its latching design and wide operation temperature range make it the ideal choice for demanding applications in tight spaces or difficult-to-access positions. It is also an excellent choice for applications requiring a secure, reliable connection in extreme conditions.
