TSCN Dark Grey 14-Pin 2.8 Sealed Male Connector – Technical Description The TSCN dark grey 14-pin 2.8 sealed male connector is a high-performance, ruggedized interconnect solution designed for demanding applications where reliability, durability, and environmental protection are critical. This connector features a compact yet robust design, ensuring secure electrical connections in harsh conditions while maintaining excellent signal integrity. Key Features 1. 14-Pin Configuration - The connector provides 14 discrete contacts, enabling multi-signal transmission in a single interface. - Suitable for power, data, and control signal applications where multiple connections are required. 2. 2.8 mm Pitch - The 2.8 mm contact pitch ensures a balance between space efficiency and reliable electrical performance. - Ideal for applications where PCB real estate is limited but high-density connections are necessary. 3. Sealed & Environmentally Resistant - Engineered with IP-rated sealing (exact rating depends on gasket/material specifications), protecting against moisture, dust, and contaminants. - Resistant to vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for automotive, industrial, and outdoor applications. 4. Dark Grey Housing - The dark grey thermoplastic or composite housing offers high mechanical strength, UV resistance, and chemical stability. - Color-coding aids in quick identification in complex wiring systems. 5. Male Connector Design - Features male contacts (pins) designed for secure mating with corresponding female receptacles. - Precision-machined terminals ensure low insertion force while maintaining high contact reliability. 6. Secure Locking Mechanism - Integrated locking clips or screws prevent accidental disconnections in high-vibration environments. 7. High-Performance Contacts - Contacts are typically made of copper alloy with gold or tin plating, ensuring low resistance and corrosion resistance. - Rated for high current and voltage (specific ratings depend on wire gauge and material). 8. Wiring Options - Compatible with crimp, solder, or PCB mount terminations for flexible installation. - Supports various wire gauges for different power and signal requirements. Applications - Automotive Electronics (ECUs, sensors, lighting) - Industrial Machinery (robotics, control systems) - Outdoor & Marine Equipment (exposure to moisture, salt, and temperature variations) - Medical & Aerospace (where reliability is critical) Advantages - Durability: Withstands mechanical stress and environmental challenges. - Space-Saving: Compact 2.8 mm pitch allows high-density connections. - Secure Connection: Sealed and locking mechanisms prevent failures. This connector is an excellent choice for engineers seeking a rugged, high-performance interconnect solution for mission-critical systems.
