Rectangular connectors have been a staple in electrical engineering practices for many years. While there are many modern alternatives available, the basics of rectangular connectors, such as headers, receptacles, and female sockets, remain largely unchanged.

The item 346-87-159-41-036101 is a rectangular header. This part is designed to mount to a printed circuit board (PCB) and provide a connection point for a wire or cable. The pins on the header may be configured to either through-hole or surface mount (SMT). This part has eight contacts, with 2.54mm (0.1in) pin spacing. It is designed to accept unshielded cables of 4-6mm in diameter.

Headers as such are often used as a connection point for wires and cables. Other common uses include mounting DIP switches, connecting sensors, connecting motors, connecting serial and parallel ports, as well as connecting power supplies.

The working principle of the 346-87-159-41-036101 is relatively simple. It consists of a rectangular housing, with metal pins, which fit into holes on the PCB. The pins also allow for attachment of a wire or cable, as they feature a tight contact when mated to a connection. In order to ensure secure connections, the 346-87-159-41-036101 features a latching mechanism. This latching mechanism consists of two parts; a hook on the top of the rectangular housing and a dimple on the bottom. When the header is inserted into the PCB, the dimple on the bottom of the header fits into the hook on the top of the rectangular housing, thereby latching the header into place and providing extra stability.

In addition to the latching mechanism, the 346-87-159-41-036101 also features keying. This keying feature is designed to prevent incorrect mating of a cable or wire to the header. The mating of an incorrectly keyed cable to the header can lead to electrical shorts, which can cause serious damage to the circuitry. The keying feature of the 346-87-159-41-036101 is designed to provide visual and tactile cues that the correct cable has been mated to the header.

Rectangular connectors such as the 346-87-159-41-036101 are a staple of many electrical engineering applications. They are designed to provide a secure connection point for wires and cables, while preventing incorrect mating of cables. Additionally, the latching and keying mechanisms provide extra stability and reliability. With these features, they are well suited for use in a wide variety of applications, from communication equipment to industrial control systems.
