1-1586042-0

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - commonly known as 1-1586042-0 - are components used to make electrical connections between two or more circuits without soldering, which is one of the simpler and most economical ways to switch the current. They are highly suitable for low-level signals and not suitable for high current applications due to the low contact resistance, and have a wide range of applications including automotive, telecom equipment, test and measurement, industrial control, and commercial aviation.

Application Field

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - are commonly used in industrial, medical, office, and home applications, for data, power and signal transmission, and applications that require fast connection and disconnection. Their functions can include transmitting data, power and signal transmission, reducing heat, and providing better insulation. They can be used in PCBs, enclosures or panel cutouts for cable/connector combinations, as well as custom designed products. The low-profile shape, specifically tailored to meet the needs of certain applications, simplifies and expedites assembly and facilitates installation. For example, it can be used for general electronic instrumentation, commercial communication, office use, automotive and household appliances.

Working Principle

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - work by inserting the contacting pin accurately into the socket and the contact being generated from the elastic force of the metal shell pushing against the surface of the metal pins, resulting in a conductive connection. The contact material can also be used to improve the performance of the electrical connection, such as reducing the risk of arcing and increasing insulation resistance. Adapter ports with a lower profile can also be added to increase effective connection density at the interface. In addition to connection, these connectors are also used for EMI and ESD protection, making them ideal for industrial/automotive applications that require high reliability and stability.

In summary, Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - are versatile electrical connectors that are widely used in numerous industries due to their low cost, simplicity, and variety of possible applications. They are suitable for low-level signals and provide excellent insulation and reliability, making them ideal for data, power, and signal transmission. With the ability to customize shapes and sizes to meet specific requirements, these connectors are highly convenient and efficient for applications that require fast connection and disconnection.
