The 1-215464-8 is a male-on-board connector from TE Connectivity's Micro-MaTch modular connector family, featuring 1.27 mm contact centerline spacing for reliable wire-to-board and board-to-board interconnections. The connector utilizes tin-plated contact design with a gas-tight connection system that incorporates an additional positioning spring in the female part to absorb relative movements caused by vibrations and thermal expansion, effectively preventing fretting corrosion. This contact spring system compensates for positional tolerances and provides the high contact force required for tin-plated contact systems, ensuring long-term reliability and durability. The male-on-board connector is available in multiple position sizes (4 to 20 positions) and is compatible with female connectors including top-entry, side-entry, and surface-mount device (SMD) variants. Applications include production and material handling equipment, control units, robots, motors, automotive systems (car radios, navigation systems, dashboard systems), base stations, set-top boxes, and audio equipment.
