TSW-101-08-G-T-RA

The TSW-101-08-G-T-RA is an 8-position, Tin-plated, vertical-mount, right angle single-row header connector. It is part of the Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins series, manufactured and sold by TE Connectivity. As the name suggests, these are one of the most commonly used connector systems, with many applications.

The connector is typically used in the telecommunications industry, where it provides an easy, reliable method of connecting multiple lines that are distributed with the system. It is particularly useful in the transmission of high-speed audio, video and data signals over long distances.

This connector features polarized contacts and is constructed using durable, corrosion-resistant copper alloy contacts, with their tops insulated by polyethylene plastic mouldings. It also features an easy-to-install shroud which helps to prevent accidental contact with any exposed metal parts, while also providing additional protection against EMI/RFI interference.

This product has a number of advantages over other male-pin connectors, including a more compact form factor and an easier assembly process. This makes it ideal for use in smaller systems, where space is at a premium, such as mobile phones and other handheld devices. Additionally, due to its rigid structure and reliable connections, it is often used for applications where connection stability is of paramount importance, such as medical equipment, military and aerospace applications.

The working principle of the TSW-101-08-G-T-RA is relatively straightforward. The connector is designed with 8 contact pins, which are arranged in a single row, with the pins facing downwards in a right angle configuration. To connect, two mating connectors are lined up so that the contact points of the two connectors are touching, then a single press-to-lock motion secures the connection. The press-fit locking tabs ensure that the connection is solid and secure, while the shroud helps to reduce the possibility of EMI/RFI interference.

In conclusion, the TSW-101-08-G-T-RA is an 8-position single-row, right angle, shield-compatible header connector, designed for use in the telecommunications industry and for applications where connection stability and EMI/RFI interference are of primary concern. It provides an easily-installed and reliable connection between multiple lines and is an excellent choice for more compact and reliable systems.
