Product Information

Full details

The WAGO 734-133 is a vertical male header designed for secure PCB connections. Ideal for applications requiring reliable and protected mating, its key benefit is 100% protection against mismating, ensuring only compatible halves connect. A potential caveat is its specific pitch, requiring compatible mating connectors. This component features 3 poles, a 3.5mm pitch, and a 10A current rating, housed in a light grey, durable casing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the '100% protected against mismating' feature?

This feature ensures that only mating halves with the exact same number of poles can be connected. This prevents incorrect connections, reducing the risk of electrical faults, damage to equipment, and downtime.

Can this header be used for high-voltage applications?

The WAGO 734-133 has a current rating of 10A. It is suitable for moderate current loads but not designed for high-voltage or very high-current applications exceeding its specifications.

What type of mating connector is required for the 734-133?

It requires a female connector with a 3.5mm pitch and a compatible pin configuration, specifically designed to mate with this MCS MINI series header. Always refer to WAGO's product catalog for compatible mating parts.

How is the header mounted to the PCB?

The 734-133 features straight solder pins that are inserted through holes on the PCB and then soldered for a permanent connection.

What is the operating temperature range for this connector?

The operating temperature range for the WAGO 734-133 is from -60 °C to 100 °C.

Is it possible to change the number of poles after installation?

No, the number of poles is fixed by the design of the header (3 poles in this case) and cannot be changed after installation. The mismating protection ensures you cannot connect a different pole count.

Troubleshooting

No connection established after mating

Verify that the mating female connector is correctly aligned and fully seated. Check solder connections on the PCB for continuity. Ensure both the header and mating connector have the same number of poles.

Intermittent connection or signal loss

Inspect the solder joints on the PCB for any cracks or poor connections. Ensure the mating connector is securely fastened. Check for physical damage to the header pins or the mating connector.

Connector overheating or melting

Confirm that the current load does not exceed the 10A rating. Check for short circuits in the connected wiring. Ensure adequate ventilation around the connected components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents connection errors with 100% mismating protection.
  • Compact design with 3.5mm pin spacing.
  • Suitable for moderate current loads up to 10A.
  • Robust construction for industrial use.
  • Facilitates organized PCB layouts with vertical mounting.

Cons

  • Requires specific mating connectors due to the 3.5mm pitch.
  • Not suitable for extremely high-power applications exceeding 10A.
  • Limited to 3 poles, may not suffice for complex multi-circuit needs.
  • Soldering required for PCB mounting, not a plug-and-play solution on its own.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The WAGO 734-133 is a male header that requires soldering directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB). Ensure correct orientation and pin alignment before soldering. Use appropriate soldering equipment and techniques for a secure connection.

Compatibility: This header is designed to mate with corresponding female connectors from WAGO's MCS MINI range or other connectors with a 3.5mm pitch and compatible pin configuration. Verify that the mating connector also offers the necessary pole count and current rating. The 100% protection against mismating feature ensures compatibility only with specifically designed counterparts.

Care: Due to its through-hole design and soldered connections, the header itself requires minimal maintenance. However, the connected system should be kept clean and free from excessive dust and moisture, especially in industrial environments. Periodically inspect solder joints for any signs of stress or corrosion. Operating temperatures should remain within the specified range of -60 to 100 °C.
