Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular connectors are widely used in today’s electrical and electronics industries. They are used in electronic devices for attaching cables, extending circuits, and establishing connections between components. Rectangular connectors are made up of two parts-headers and male pins. Headers are U-shaped plastic components with grooved channels for housing male pins. Male pins are inserted into the header to create a strong, secure connection. To ensure reliable connections, the pins have a slightly larger dimension than the header’s grooves, so it firmly holds the pins in place. Some modern headers are equipped with mechanical locks, which help make them resistant to shock and vibration, and can improve the overall reliability of the connection.

Application Fields

The main application area of rectangular connectors is in the telecommunication industry. They are mainly used in the manufacturing of telecommunications, modems, routers, and other information-transmitting equipment. In addition, rectangular connectors are also used in consumer electronics, such as LCD and LED monitors, printers, cameras, and portable audio devices. They are also found in the automotive industry, mainly being used to connect components within a car.

Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are highly reliable and simple to use. A typical rectangular connector has two parts, male and female connectors with prongs. The prongs are then inserted into the corresponding grooves of the female connector. Once the pins are inserted, the headers and male pins form a secure connection. Most connectors have a mechanical locking system that keeps the pins secure even when exposed to physical shock and vibration.

To ensure proper connection, a header should fit snugly into the male pin. When the header is inserted correctly and the connection is secure, the male pins directly contact the pins of the device which creates an electrical and data connection. This connection facilitates the smooth and efficient functioning of the device.

Conclusion

Rectangular connectors are an essential component of modern electrical and electronic products. They are used to establish a strong and secure connection between two components, ensuring reliable performance of the device. The use of modern, mechanically locking connectors can improve both the reliability and security of the connection.
