Rectangular connectors, otherwise known as headers, male pins, break-away headers, and female sockets, are used in a wide variety of applications. In each application field, the working principle of these connectors is as follows.

Circuit Boards & Printed Circuit Boards

On circuit boards and PCBs, rectangular connectors provide a reliable connection between the integrated circuitry and the components. The pins on the header are used to make electrical connections and bridge paths between various components. In order to ensure quick and reliable connections, the pins are staggered in order to provide continuity with the other pins. This connection is enabled by the pins or blades on the header that each possess a ‘locking tab’ which grips the component and locks it into place.

Modular Connectors

Modular connectors are a type of interconnection system that utilizes rectangular connectors and modules. Modules are used to provide interconnection between circuit boards, components, or other types of connectors. The rectangular connectors used in modular connectors are designed to physically connect and provide electricity for the required components. Typically, modular connectors use signal pins to enable a communication path between the two pieces of the modular setup.

Datacom Connectors

Rectangular connectors are used to create reliable and secure connections between two or more electronic systems. Data connectors utilize individual blades to establish reliable electrical communication between both system, enabling them to communicate with each other. The pins typically used for data connectors are typically gold plated to prevent corrosion and ensure reliable connections.

Automotive Connectors

Automotive connectors use rectangular connectors to allow various components to be quickly scalable and replaceable. The connectors used in the automotive industry typically possess locking pins that ensure reliable connections and prevent accidental disconnection of the wires. Such pins maintain steady contact between the components while they are in use and prevent electrical surges and shortages.

Industrial Connectors

Rectangular connectors are found in almost every industry, from consumer electronics to industrial automation. Industrial connectors utilize the same locking pins and sturdy metal contacts as the other connectors mentioned above. These connectors often have additional features, such as vibration and shock resistance, that allow them to be used in high stress and demanding environments.

Medical & Telecom Connectors

In medical applications, rectangular connectors are used to transfer signals between medical equipment such as monitors, incubators, and monitoring systems. In the telecom industry, these connectors are utilized to quickly establish connections between various systems and equipment. Connectors used in medical and telecom applications are typically able to handle high voltage and current levels.

As can be seen, rectangular connectors, otherwise known as headers, male pins, break-away headers, and female sockets, are used in a wide variety of applications. The working principle behind the connectors is the same in every application - to provide a reliable connection between components and systems that is secure, quick, and dependable.
