Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors are one of the most commonly used connectors in industrial and consumer electronic devices. They offer a low profile, cost effective solution for connecting complex circuits and powering numerous electronic components. They are similar to other rectangular connector types, such as pinheaders and USB connectors, but are comprised of receptacles, headers, and female sockets.

0022152036 Application Field and Working Principle

The 0022152036 connectors are a specific type of rectangular connector that is typically found in medical, military and aerospace applications. They have a wide array of applications, including data collection, power switching, and sophisticated signal transmission. They are used for a variety of applications, including battery charging and charging management, electrical circuit switching, low power signal, control, voice and data communications, and more.

This type of rectangular connector is constructed with a male header and a female socket. The male header has several contact points to connect the corresponding female socket. The female socket has a groove that forms the connection with the corresponding male header. The connection requires a positive locking mechanism, which means that electrical contact is maintained even when the connector is disconnected. The male header and female socket are held together with a metal locking clip, secured with a locking screw.

The connectors are designed to provide reliable, low contact resistance and secure connections. They have a higher current capacity and lower contact resistance than other forms of rectangular connectors. This ensures better signal transmission and lower interference. The contact point of the connector is corrosion resistant, making it suitable for harsh environments.

When installing the connector, the mating parts of the connector should be flush and free of any debris. The locking clip should always be securely in place after the connection is made, and the connection should not be forced. If the contact points of the connector are bent or damaged, the contact resistance will be compromised and the connector will not be able to securely connect.

0022152036 connectors are designed with gold-plated contacts featured on the components. This ensures that the connectors remain corrosion-free and prevent connections from breaking down during use. It also makes the connector suitable for use in high-vibration environments without the risk of shorting or breaking.

The rectangular connectors are integral components in a wide range of applications. Their versatility and reliability make them one of the most popular types of connectors in the electronics industry.
