TSW-104-30-S-D-RA

Rectangular connectors, also known as headers, are found in many everyday electronic items. While there are a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials available, typically these connectors consist of two components – a header housing and a set of pins. Pins are often male, meaning they extend from the housing and have some form of engagement feature to create a connection..

The TSW-104-30-S-D-RA is one such rectangular connector. It is a 4-pin type with a 3 mm pitch, meaning the pins are spaced 3 mm apart. The pins are male, with a centerline height of 4.8 mm above the housing. TSW-104-30-S-D-RA connectors are available with various forms of insulation including UL 94V-0 and UL 94V-2, as well as various contact finishes.

The TSW-104-30-S-D-RA connectors are primarily intended for the use in small circuit boards such as those found inprinted circuit boards (PCBs) or electrical components. The ones with UL 94V-2 insulation are superior in terms of safety offering protection against electric shock when used in low voltage applications. They offer strong and reliable contact retention through simple engagement. They can be connected and disconnected multiple times with basic tooling such as pliers and tweezers.

The application field of the TSW-104-30-S-D-RA is wide. They can be used in the automotive, medical, and communications industries. It is also commonly used in consumer electronic products due to its easy-to-use design and wide availability of parts.

The working principle of TSW-104-30-S-D-RA is simple yet effective. First, the male pins are inserted into mating sockets located on the component of the electric circuit. The pins are then secured in place by pushing the sockets closed. This creates a tight connection which is resistant to vibration and electrical interference. Once the connections have been made, the circuit is ready to use.

Overall, the TSW-104-30-S-D-RA is a low-cost and effective connector for a wide variety of applications. Its simple design ensures that it can be used with minimal tools and effort. It offers a consistently reliable contact retention and is available with various levels of insulation. This makes it a choice of many engineers and electricians for a variety of uses.
