Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Male Pins

The TSW-123-08-L-S is a part of the popular TSW rectangular connector line. It is a 8-position pre-wired connector that features a 2 mm spacing between contacts. The connector has a miniaturized design and is characterized by a high contact force and high resistance to withdrawal force. This allows it to handle power up to 25 A (maximum operating voltage of 250 V) in harsh environments.

Application Field

This connector is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as industrial, commercial, automotive, and communications. It is suitable for use in laboratories and test and measurement equipment, as well as in commercial, military, aerospace and automotive applications. It can be used for wiring and interconnecting of electronic devices, boards and components. It can also be used in consumer electronic equipment, such as digital cameras, audio/visual equipment, gaming systems, and computers.

Working Principle

The TSW-123-08-L-S connector is a typical two-piece connector system. The contact is housed in a plastic housing that is designed to fit into a mating socket. Each contact is spring-loaded and is held in the housing with tension. Electrical connections are made by a friction lock between the housing and the contact, which ensures a stable connection and resists any movement of the contact.

The design of these connectors allows for a low insertion force, as well as a good contact force, which helps to prevent the device from heating up or shorting out. They are also designed to prevent oxidation and corrosion on the contact, which helps to maintain a reliably good connection. The contacts in the connector are also designed to withstand high shock and vibration.

The TSW-123-08-L-S connector is available with a variety of contact types, including female, male, and stackable types. Female contacts are available with a single pin, while male contacts can be used with two pins. The stackable contact type is designed to allow the connection of several devices in the same connector. The wide range of contact types allows this connector to be used in a wide range of applications.
