XG8V-0831

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - XG8V-0831 Application Field and Working Principle

Introducing the XG8V-0831, Mega-Fit Plate-Mount connectors from Molex, this is a 2.00mm pitch, 0.50inch stack height (vertical), through-hole, single-row, male header housing. It features an on-board snap-in locking mechanism for tactile feel and stability, with the ability to secure additional mating parts to support the retention in a vibrating environment.

This device consists of a 2.00mm and 2.54mm pitch combination which are designed to support miniaturization. It is designed with the Polymer Housings and incorporates the industry standard color-coded polarizing keys for proper mating alignment. The Polymer for this housing is rated UL94V-0 flammability, meets the requirements of IEC 60670, and uses a tin-plated copper alloy contacts, providing an electrical current capacity up to 1.5A.

The XG8V-0831 features 8 positions, making it suitable for applications such as automotive electronics, computers, and communications, providing a reliable signal and power connection in crowded PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). Its compact design allows users to save time and money by reducing the total cost of ownership and contributing to a better design performance.

The XG8V-0831 is designed to accommodate multiple mating cables, which makes it a great solution for systems with different types of connectors. Its gender-less design allows pairing with other Male and Female headers, giving users the flexibility they need during assembly. When the connectors are mated, the header provides positive grounding, retaining the cables at the desired length.

The working principle of this device revolves around its pin-lock technology. The pin-lock technology has been designed to prevent accidental disconnection of the two cables being connected. It works by pushing one of the pins inside the connector, which clasps the cable, creating a secure connection. Additionally, the pins on this header are built to offer an anti-skid grip, which allows for ease and accuracy during the installation process.

Overall, the XG8V-0831 is a great solution for applications needing a reliable mating connection in tight spaces. Its combination of flexibility, design, and ease-of-use make it a suitable candidate for applications in automotive electronics, computers, and communications. Its use of pin-lock technology and anti-skid grip helps ensure a secure and reliable connection, while also protecting against accidental disconnection.
