0022283285

Rectangular connectors are an important type of electronics connectors used in a wide variety of applications. 0022283285 is an example of a particular style of suburban connector, also called a header or a "male pin" connector.

Design and Construction

0022283285 rectangular connectors consist of two basic parts: a body, which acts as a base and frame; and a matched set of pins. The body consists of two parallel plates, which join together to form a rectangular column. The upper surface of the column-shaped body includes a set of holes, and the lower surface of the column generally contains a metal plate. The metal plate in the base is often used to provide grounding and contact for the individual pins. The upper surface of the column is typically stamped with numbers and/or letters, indicating the pinouts of each individual pin.

Pinretention

The pins themselves are retained in place by a number of means, the most common being mechanical means. One method of mechanical retention is to use two bolts and a nut, which connecting the pins to the bottom plate and binding them in place. The other common methods of pin retention includes adhesive-backed tape, rivets, and clips. Regardless of the method of connection, the pins should fit within the upper surface of the body and be secured in place.

Interface Types and Types

0022283285 rectangular connectors come in a wide variety of interface types, with different numbers of pins and different pinouts for each type. Common interface types include single-rowed, dual-rowed, three-rowed, and four-rowed. In addition, each type of connector may be offered in various sizes, with the size representing a measure of the overall length of the connection. The most common sizes offered are DSubminiature, Sub-Miniature, and Micro.

Working Principle

The working principle associated with 0022283285 rectangular connectors is simple. When mated with its corresponding receptacle, the pins in the connector are inserted into the receptacle, forming an electrical connection. The connector then provides an interface through which electrical current can flow from one point to another. As the current flows, it makes contact with the metal plate in the base of the connector, providing grounding and enhancing the conductivity of the overall system.

Applications

0022283285 rectangular connectors are used in a wide variety of applications, including computer, telecom, consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. They are often used for power supply, data transmission, connectivity, and a variety of signal processing purposes. Additionally, a number of distinct connector packages, such as DIPs and BGA (ball grid array) packages, are available that allow the total height of the connector to be as low as possible, thus making them suitable for applications where space is at a premium.
