Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

0307004200 rectangular connectors are the optimal choice for connecting printed circuit boards and flat flexible cable (FFC) due to their wide selection of types, sizes, and number of positions. Furthermore, they are designed to meet industry standard Interconnects, with their snap fit connections, ability to withstand multiple mating cycles for frequently used components, as well as the option for keyed or unkeyed orientation.

Application

0307004200 rectangular connectors are ideal for use in consumer electronics, such as set-top boxes, game consoles, smartphones, home appliances, etc., due to their high performance and robust design. In addition, they are used in a variety automotive applications, such as audio, navigation systems, and automotive HVAC systems, due to their capability to withstand vibration and wide operating temperature range. In extreme environments, they are used in automation and production equipment, such as industrial sensors, robotic arms, and automated machine tools, due to their ability to operate in high temperatures and withstand shock and vibration.

Working Principle

0307004200 rectangular connectors are spring-loaded mating connectors that provide positive engagement between components with a “click” as they are mated. The mating interface consists of a combination of contacts that ”mate” through insertion and retention force. The force comes from the spring "fingers" on the inside of the connector and provides a positive connection when the plug and receptacle are mated. Furthermore, the contacts are held firmly in place and cannot be pushed back into the connector – which makes them resistant to vibration and shock.

The contacts are made from high-strength metal alloys which ensure that the connector has a long life with minimum contact resistance. Furthermore, the contacts do not corrode or oxidize, which ensures a reliable and stable electrical connection. In addition, the connector is designed with polarization features – such as shielded contacts and keying – to assure proper orientation and prevent reverse-insertion and incorrect mating.

Conclusion

0307004200 rectangular connectors are the optimal choice for connecting printed circuit boards and flat flexible cable (FFC). They provide a robust connection with positive engagement and can withstand vibration, shock, and temperature extremes. In addition, the rugged construction, long life, and corrosion resistance of the contacts make it ideal for use in consumer electronics, automotive applications, and extreme environments.
