4973-12TSB

Overview

The Oupiin 4973-12TSB is a 4.20mm pitch wire-to-board connector component belonging to the 4973 series. It functions as a straight (STR) wafer designed for surface mount or through-hole PCB integration. The part accommodates 12 positions and utilizes industry-standard compatible contacts with a 2.13mm diameter power contact interface. It supports wire gauges ranging from 16 AWG to 22 AWG, ensuring robust dual contact connections. The housing features molded alignment posts for excellent retention to the PCB and includes locking features to ensure secure mating with corresponding male or female housings.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'TSB' corresponds to the straight wafer configuration within the 4973 series documentation. Confirm compatibility with mating terminals specified for the 4973 series, which typically require separate ordering. Ensure the selected variant matches the required pin count and current rating specifications for the target application circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4.20mm pitch is required for space-constrained applications. Consider the 4973 series if industry-standard 2.13mm contacts are preferred for cost-effective sourcing. Evaluate the need for locking ramps and alignment posts to prevent disconnection during vibration. Compare against 4871 or 4873 series options if different pitch heights or hook options are necessary for the assembly process.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Oupiin 4973 series of 4.20mm wire-to-board connectors. The series offers various configurations including male/female housings and DIP wafers in both straight and right-angle orientations. It is designed to work with wires from 16 AWG to 22 AWG and provides current ratings up to 13A for 2-5 position variants and 11A for 6-10 position variants, utilizing UL 94V-2 white plastic materials.
