Types of Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular connectors are important for electrical signals and power transfer in many industries. Here, we will explain types of commonly used rectangular connectors including headers, male pins and their respective applications and working principles.

Headers

Headers are widely used in various electronic products and provide connectors with two rows of pins for power and signal transfer.Headers usually consist of contact pins and pins with plastic housings.The contact pins are usually press-fitted into the plastic housing without soldering.Pins are usually made of copper and plated with nickel or gold to improve electrical conductance.The pin profile can be round or rectangular with different diameters.Headers also come with a variety of connector shapes such as square, round or rectangular.

Headers can be found in a variety of applications, from low current applications such as consumer electronics, computer motherboards and smartphones, to high current applications such as motor control systems and automotive applications.They are also used in a variety of industrial products, such as communication devices, robotics and weighing systems.

Male Pins

Male pins are used for power and signal transfer in headers. Male pins are made from different materials such as copper and brass and are usually plated with nickel or gold for better conductivity.The pins are of a standard length and diameter, and can be fixed to a variety of connecto housings.Male pins connect to receptacles or other connectors such as headers or backshells using screws or crimp contacts.

Male pins are used in a variety of applications, from low current applications such as consumer electronics, computers and smartphones, to high current applications such as motor control systems and automotive applications.They are also used in a variety of industrial products, such as communication devices, robotics and weighing systems.

Application and Working Principle

Headers and male pins are the most commonly used rectangular connectors. Headers are used to attach wires to circuit boards, while male pins are used to connect one end of a wire to a header.The working principle of headers and male pins is relatively simple. The pins on the header are connected to electrical traces on the circuit board. The male pins on the other end are connected to electrical traces on another circuit board or to a wire. Electrical signals and power can be transferred from one circuit board to another or from the wire to the circuit board that it is connected to.

Headers and male pins are widely used in many industries, from consumer electronics and automotive to industrial products. They are used to transfer electrical signals and power from one circuit board to another or from a wire to a circuit board. They provide a reliable and stable connection and are relatively easy to install and use.
