Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

TSW-111-08-S-D is an 8-pin rectangular connector header with male pins. It is one of the most widely used type of connection product across the world. Connectors like these are used in various kinds of electrical or electronic products, like in computers, cell phones, Test & Measurement instruments, etc. Usually, these are used when a signal needs to be transferred from one board to another.

These 8-pin rectangular connectors are small pieces of copper alloy material with pins on the end, while the other end has the pins connected to a plastic housing. There’s also a plastic locking mechanism that helps secure the housing in place. The size and form factor of this specific rectangular connector allows it to be inserted into other 8-pin boards.

Application Field

The TSW-111-08-S-D connector is mostly used as jumpers or connections between two motherboards or PCBs. This type of connector is also used in power supplies, or as a testing fixture. It’s almost exclusively used in the IT & telecoms industry, for its technology and reliability.

The product has also branched out to be used in other industries, like Instrumentation, CATV, Automation, Test & Measurement and others. It’s also found in medical systems, automotive industry, as well as in consumer goods.

Working Principle

The concept behind this type of mechanical based connector is relatively simple. It has two parts, the Plug and Receptacle. In the case of the TSW-111-08-S-D one, both of these parts are composed of insulating material and pins for contact.

The pins on the plug are in the shape of a cylinder, while the pins in the receptacle are often U-shaped, allowing the plug to slide on and secure itself in place. These two parts are held together by two plastic clips at the edges.

The most important part of the working principle is the electrical contact being established. This is done through currents that pass through from the pins on the plug to the pins on the receptacle.

Ultimately, this creates an electrical link between the two parts, allowing signals and data to be transferred between them and completing the cycle.

Conclusion

The TSW-111-08-S-D connector is an 8-pin rectangular connector with male pins. It has won widespread recognition for its technology and applications across multiple industries, from IT & Telecoms to Instrumentation or Automation. Its working principle is relatively simple, with the two parts of the connector being held together by two plastic clips.

Due to its size and form factor, the TSW-111-08-S-D connector is often used as a jumper or connection between two motherboards or PCBs. It has gained enough trust due to its reliability in connecting two pieces of electronic or electrical equipment and allowing them to exchange data.
