Headers

A header is a type of electrical connector that typically has one or more long pins that are designed to make contact with a companion socket. Headers are often used as the interface for connection between an integrated circuit (IC) or printed circuit board (PCB) and a printed wiring board (PWB).

Headers are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as computers, medical instruments, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics. They are often used to connect two pieces of hardware and are available in a variety of different sizes and configurations.

The working principle of a header is simple. The pins of the header are inserted into the apertures of the socket. When the pins are inserted, an electric current is created. The electric current then flows between the two pieces of hardware, completing a circuit.

Receptacles

A receptacle is another type of electrical connector that is designed to mate with a complementary connector such as a header. Receptacles are often used as the interface for connection between an integrated circuit (IC) or printed circuit board (PCB) and a printed wiring board (PWB).

Receptacles are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as computers, medical instruments, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics. They are often used to connect two pieces of hardware and are available in a variety of different sizes and configurations.

Female Sockets

A female socket is a type of electrical connector that is designed to mate with a complementary connector such as a header. Female sockets are often used as the interface for connection between an IC or PCB and a PWB.

Female sockets are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as computers, medical instruments, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics. They are often used to connect two pieces of hardware and are available in a variety of different sizes and configurations.

The working principle of a female socket is simple. The pins of the header are inserted into the apertures of the female socket. When the pins are inserted, an electric current is created. The electric current then flows between the two pieces of hardware, completing a circuit.
