TSW-140-17-S-D

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are commonly used as part of an electrical connection setup in the form of printed circuit boards (PCBs). TSW-140-17-S-D, a male header connector, is one of the connector types available in the industry. In the following paragraphs, its application fields and working principles will be discussed in detail.

Application Field of TSW-140-17-S-D

TSW-140-17-S-D rectangular connectors are generally preferred for power and signal applications. These male connectors are used in a wide range of PCB boards such as robotics, aircrafts, medical equipments, etc. The wide application fields make it a suitable candidate for a range of application. It is also applicable in much harsher environments because of its IP67, IP68, and IP69K protection level, which further ensures its use in multiple domains.

Working Principle of TSW-140-17-S-D

The TSW-140-17-S-D male pin connector consists of two sections; a fixed male pin on one side and a socketed female section on the other side. Both the pin and socket are designed with a durable, high current carrying capability insulator. The male pin and socket are mounted through slots and tabs on the printed circuit board (PCB) and then secured by soldering. The installation process is simple and fast, non-destructively connecting the pins on the PCB with the socket.

While using the TSW-140-17-S-D connector, two different connection methods can be used - the vertical connection and the horizontal connection. The vertical connection is recommended when space is limited. In this method the male pins are vertically installed to the socket, while the horizontal connection requires the male pins to be horizontally connected to the female sockets.

Conclusion

TSW-140-17-S-D, a rectangular male pin connector, is widely used in a range of applications, from the aerospace industry to medical equipment. The structure of the connector, comprised of a fixed male pin and a socketed female section, is designed to withstand the rigors of harsh environment. The installation process of the male connector is relatively simple and it can be connected to the socketed female section with two connection methods, vertically and horizontally.
