Rectangular connectors such as headers and receptacles, female sockets, and plugs are the most commonly used type of electronic components. They are used in a wide range of applications from computers to televisions, phones, and so on. Here, we will discuss their application fields and working principle.

Application Field

Rectangular connectors are found in a variety of applications in consumer electronics, industrial controls, telecommunications, medical, aerospace, automotive, home theater, and computer systems. For instance, they are used in audio and video devices, modems and other telecommunication devices, wire harnesses, timers and keypads. They can also be used to connect computer peripheral devices such as keyboards, mice, printers, and external storage devices.

In addition, they are used to interconnect the components on the motherboard such as connecting the processor to memory or connecting a peripheral device to the motherboard. They are also used to interconnect different boards and subsystems in a system.

Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are essentially a set of contacts that provide an electrical connection when mating two components. The contacts are typically either flat metal springs, or pins that are crimped or soldered to the wire or board. The contacts can be either female (receptacle) or male (plug).

When two components are mated, the contacts on the male and female connectors are aligned and an electrical connection is made. The contacts provide a means of securing the connector, as well as providing an electrical connection. Most female connectors feature latching mechanisms, which provide a secure connection between the two components.

The design of the connector is such that it can be removed from either component without any additional tools. This makes the circular connector suitable for quick and easy disconnection and connecting of components.

Rectangular connectors are typically classified according to the type of contact they use. The contacts can be either threaded or non-threaded. Threaded connectors are usually preferred when dealing with high current loads, while non-threaded connectors are used for lower current loads. Furthermore, the contact material used in the connectors is also specified depending on its application.

In conclusion, rectangular connectors are one of the most common types of connectors used in a wide variety of applications. They provide an easy means of connecting and disconnecting components, and are available in a variety of contact materials and designs. By understanding their application fields and working principle, engineers can make the most of these versatile connectors and ensure robust, reliable, and energy efficient connections.
