0717640414

Rectangular connectors, and more specifically 0717640414 headers, male pins and their associated accessories, are used in various industries for a variety of applications, ranging from transmitting electrical signals to carrying power and data. They are especially useful for transferring data between circuit boards, and can be used to connect them horizontally or vertically. Depending on the application and design considerations, these connectors offer greater space efficiencies as compared to round connectors.

Introduction

0717640414 are rectangular connectors, which have two parts that interlock - the header and the male pin. The header is a single unit with several pins arranged in a row, typically from one to four rows deep. Either side of the header is then connected to a circuit board. On the other side of the header, the pins of the male pin extend from the body and connect into the header. This basic design is used across the board for the various applications of headers and male pins.

Applications

Rectangular connectors have a wide range of applications across various industries. In the aerospace and defense industry, they are used to transfer data, power and signals between subsystems, while in automotive applications they provide reliable connections for sensors, actuators, and ECUs. Other industries such as medical and security also make use of rectangular connectors for their signal and power needs. Some of the specific applications include:

• Data retention and transfer - rectangular connectors are ideal for transmitting and retaining data between multiple systems and boards in long-distance or high-bandwidth applications
• Power and signal harnesses - they are used to carry power and signals across great distances with minimal power dissipation and cross-talk
• Robotics - they can be used to transfer power and signals to robotic arms and legs
• Telecom and networking - they are a popular choice for creating reliable, high-bandwidth links between cables and boards
• Electronic control and automation - those connectors are perfect for use in industrial automation and process control applications, as well as electronic control systems

Working Principle

Rectangular connectors, such as 0717640414 headers and male pins, rely on a simple interlocking mechanism to ensure that power, data and signals are transmitted without any loss. The header and the male pin are both keyed to ensure that the connection is secure and accurate. On the header side, the pins are arranged in a row and have either key or non-keyed eyelets. On the male pin side, the pins extend and have either notch or non-notched contacts that are used to lock into an appropriate eyelet on the header side. The pins on the male pin are also arranged in rows and keyed to match the keyed eyelets on the header side. The pins on the male pin also have a mechanical stop which prevents them from being pushed too far into the eyelet.

When the male pin and header are connected, a solid mechanical and electrical connection is created, ensuring that power and signals can be efficiently transferred. A secure connection is achieved through the use of insulating elements such as O-rings or other insulating materials that protect against any short circuits or other unplanned events.
