0038001338

The 0038001338 Rectangular Connector is a family of connectivity products used for a variety of applications. The most common form is the three-pin connector, though there are various sizes and shapes available. There are three core components to this type of connector: headers, receptacle locking features, female sockets, and power connectors.

Headers

Headers are the core components of the rectangular connectors. They are the pins that stick out from the body of the connector and are designed to be mounted in a piece of equipment. The header may have either a positive or negative pin contact pressure, depending on its intended use. The pins may also be protected with a metal sleeve or clip, designed to help reduce signal loss or interference. Headers are available in a range of sizes and shapes, from two to sixteen pins in length.

Receptacle Locking Features

The receptacle locking features, also known as ‘keys’ or ‘locks’, are used to secure the male plug of the connector. These features are typically available with two different types of key, which are: a spring-loaded locking ring, and a one-piece locking sleeve. The spring-loaded locking ring requires a special tool to insert and remove the plug, while the one-piece sleeve allows for plug insertion and removal without the need for a tool. The receptacle locking features are available in both shielded and unshielded styles.

Female Sockets

The female sockets are the part of the connector that is inserted into a piece of equipment or into another connector. They are typically available with either four or five pins, but can be bought in lengths up to nine pins. The female sockets are designed with an anti-vibration feature, designed to reduce signal loss and interference. This feature also helps to ensure a secure connection between the socket and the connector.

Power Connectors

Power connectors are necessary for connectors that are used to draw power from an external device. These connectors are typically available with up to fifteen pins, and are specifically designed with large insulators to prevent arcing. Power connectors are typically used to connect devices like television receivers, computers, or amplifiers.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 0038001338 Rectangular Connector is quite simple. The headers are designed to fit into the piece of equipment that requires the connector, and the receptacle locking features ensure that the connector is properly secured. Then, the pins of the female socket are pushed in until they reach their full length, activating the connection. Finally, the power connector is connected to the device that will be providing power to the connector.

Application Field

The 0038001338 Rectangular Connector is commonly used in a variety of applications. It can be used to connect electronic circuits, and for carrying power to electronic devices. It is commonly found in home theater systems, car audio systems, and other consumer electronics. Additionally, this type of connector is used in industrial applications such as test and monitoring systems, control panels, and automation equipment.
