Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The 0417910861 rectangular connector family of products combine the visibility of a vertical connector with the enhanced strength and plating performance of a horizontal connector. This family of connectors is a perfect fit for applications with relatively high numbers of mating cycles and for applications that require a wide range of plating options.

Application Field

The 0417910861 Rectangular Connector family of products are used in a wide range of applications, including industrial, automotive, consumer, telecommunication, and medical. The rectangular shape of the connector makes it ideal for use in tight spaces and high-volume applications, while the multiple options for plating ensure compatibility with virtually any product. This product line includes an array of headers, male pins, and contact blocks that allow for custom designs.

Working Principle

In order to achieve a secure connection the rectangular connector\'s pins and header must be correctly mated. The electrical connection is made by inserting the male pin into the female header. The contact between the two creates a high electrical and mechanical connection. The electrical connection is further secured by the fastener which ensures a semi-permanent connection between the male pin and female header. Depending on the specific product type, the fastener could be made out of plastic, metal, or both.

The connector is further secured by the latching mechanism found on the male pin and female header. The latching mechanism prevents the male pin from being accidentally removed from the female header. The latching mechanism also prevents the unintentional rotation of the male pin during connection. The latching mechanism on both the male pin and female header will lock together thus ensuring a secure connection.

Plating Performance

The 0417910861 rectangular connector is designed with multiple options for plating. The plating options are selected based on the specific environment and application. The plating options include zinc, tin, silver, gold, and black chrome. The plating is designed to protect against environmental contamination, conductivity, and corrosion. The plating also helps to enhance the overall appearance of the connector.
