Working Principle

Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Male Pins, 0432550161 are designed for electrical connection applications. The Male Pin part, which is usually single-sided, fits into female counterparts of other cables or connectors.

The cable is inserted into the female connector and the overlapping function of the cable ensures that the resistance of the connection does not fail. When inserting, the wedge shape of the housing ensures that the pin is held tightly in the corresponding groove of the contact area. This creates a firm electrical connection.

The insulative plastic housing of the connector ensures high interface insulation, thus avoiding unwanted short circuits and defective connections. The contact surfaces between the connector and the cable are brass plated to ensure the connection stays strong.

The copper in the pin provides a quality electrical connection, and the friction between the plug and the connector ensures a firm yet removable connection.
