Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

0022152255 is a type of rectangular connector being used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. These type of connectors provide a secure attachment between two devices using a flat planar design. The overall design includes two parts, a header element and a receptacle element that line up and connect when assembled.

Application Field

0022152255 rectangular connectors have found their place in a variety of different fields like automotives, communications, consumer electronics, factory automation, medical devices, lighting, and industrial machinery. Depending on the application, these connectors can be used to carry both electric and signal data. Some of the common applications include the transfer of data between a central processing unit or personal computer and peripheral devices like printer, modem, keyboard, and etc.

Working Principle

Typically, rectangular connectors are used for application requiring a reliable board-to-board connection. The header element is usually fixed to one circuit board, while the receptacle element is usually fixed to the other. The male socket of the header element utilizes a drag force for insertion into the female socket of the receptor with a reliable mating action. This design ensures a secure contact between the two elements, and enables reliable data transfer between them.
