Rectangular connectors can be used in many different applications depending on their shape, size, keying, construction, and gender. Looking deeper into a type of rectangular connector, the TSW-132-17-L-S, can give us a more thorough understanding of its potential applications and working principles.

Application Field

TSW-132-17-L-S is a specific rectangular connector type within the family of rectangular connectors. This particular type is a 2mm pitch, sealed, right angle, single and double row connectors that can accommodate up to 17 contacts. These headers, or male pins, have a pitch of 2.0mm and a Molex specific 1.45mm mated height. The contacts are supported in a solid plastic insulated body. This type, and others like it, can be found in most lower cost consumer electronic products, such as computers and peripherals, cellular phones, audio visual equipment, and white goods.

The TSW-132-17-L-S features segments where each segment houses six contacts in 2 rows each. This pitch is standard for most single or double row rectangular connectors. The gold plated contacts feature a hermaphroditic design, which means that both the male and female contacts can mate with each other. This connector also contains a tongue that is inserted in the same plane as the contact. This feature helps prevent the possibility of shorting out against other connectors.

Working Principle

The working principle of the TSW-132-17-L-S connector is relatively simple if the user has some experience with universal connectors. Most Molex connectors are housed in a hard plastic, and have cylindrical contacts with a hermaphroditic design. The contacts are connected internally and mate easily when two plug parts are mated. The insulation displacement contact method connects the mating wires quickly and easily when they are inserted into the plug part.

TSW-132-17-L-S connector has a mechanical feature called a follower, which aids in retention and eliminates the need for cable guides. This feature gives the connector it’s self-aligning capabilities and increases the ability of the connector to withstand high insertion forces. This adds to the ease of use and reliability of the connector.

The TSW-132-17-L-S connector is ideal for applications that need small, compact, dependable connections. Its creative design and hermaphroditic contacts can make troubleshooting and repair much quicker and more efficient than other more rampant black plastic-housing connectors.
