Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors are the most widely used connectors in the industrial field. They were first developed in the 1950s and have since become the most popular style within the family of electrical connectors. The rapid development of digital application has led to an increase in the demand for assorted rectangular connectors in communication, sensor and other industrial areas. Rectangular connectors are used to connect circuits, design and complete the electrical circuit, transfer power and signal between two devices and often display the signal to remote LEDs.

Headers, receptacles and female sockets are the three major types of rectangular connectors. They come in various sizes and types with standard or customizable lengths. Depending on the application, they can come with wiper contacts, dimpled contacts, spring contacts, pogo pins, kinkless contacts and/or lance locks.

Header Connectors

Headers are one-piece male connectors which can be surface mount or through-hole mounted. They are used to connect a board to a cable assembly or header in order to provide power or signal distribution. These connectors can also connect a circuit board to a CPC (Compact Peripheral Connector system) or computing or serial connector. Cost effective and easily mounted, headers are often used in high-density applications that require a straight or right-angle PCB mounted connection.

Receptacle Connectors

Receptacles are the female counterparts to the headers. They offer a secure connection that is strong, reliable and maintains a low electrical resistance value. These connectors, commonly called as sockets, are used in either coplanar surface-mount or through-hole applications. Though generally popular as surface mount, thrust in through-hole receptacles is increasing as they offer flexibility in routing, reduce assembly costs and time, and are easily reworked.

Female Socket Connectors

Female sockets are passive electrical components mostly used in printed circuit boards. They are designed to accept the connector pin of another electrical device for power and/or signal interface. For increased durability, the pins of the female socket are made up of stainless steel with a gold-plated surface.

0015453356 Application Field and Working Principle

The 0015453356 is a rectangular connector belonging to the header, receptacle or female socket family. This connector combines durability and flexibility to provide a reliable, low profile electrical connection. The connector has a pitch of 0.635 mm and is compatible with 1.27mm pitch headers/receptacles. It is typically mounted on a PCB using through-hole technology with a wiper contact and spring contact, but it can also be surface-mounted. This connector supports current up to 4A for power applications and data transfer speed up to 10Gbps for data applications.

The mechanism of 0015453356 connector is simple but reliable. The connector has two parts, the socket (receptacle) and the header. The wiper contact, composed of a terminal plate connected to the body, serves as the electrical contact for the cable assembly. The spring contact in the receptacle supplies the electrical connection from the header to the host board. When mated, the spring contact fits in between two small grooves of the header and locks them together. The header contacts ensure a secure connection, while the pogo pins on the socket provide protection against shock and vibration.

In summary, 0015453356 is a popular rectangular connector for applications requiring power or data distribution. Its features include quick assembly, robust mating and secure connection. It can be used in many applications such as a medical device, HVAC systems and automotive harnesses to name a few. This directional connector is available in multiple configurations to meet the needs of users in various industries.
