Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors are now an integral part of many electronic assemblies, and a wide variety of configurations are available on the market. While the most common rectangular connectors are composed of 3- and 4-pin connectors, larger and more sophisticated designs are increasingly becoming available with advanced features such as built-in strain relief, long-term durability and power contacts for higher-current applications. 0872643252 is a newly developed plastic insulating rectangular connector featuring 3 to 17 pins that can be used in a range of applications requiring different levels of pin density.

Application Field

Rectangular connectors are employed in a wide range of applications, from industrial automation to power distribution and control systems, in addition to straightforward plans for consumer electronics and home appliances. Examples of applications where these connectors have been employed include automotive, medical, telecommunications and home entertainment systems. The particular type of rectangular connector 0872643252 is notable for having a flat profile, which enables it to be used in areas where space is at a premium and with other tight fittings.

The 0872643252 can be used in both male and female configurations. Its use in male connectors enables the contacts to be mechanically plugged and unplugged from standard female connectors. Female sockets can also be used to accept male pins, allowing for simple product integration between compatible components.

Working Principle

Rectangular connectors work on the principle of electrical contact between male and female connectors, with current flow between them. In the case of the 0872643252, the contact between male and female blades requires pressure contact, with the female contacts spring-loaded to make and hold the connection. A plastic body provides further protection on the side where the connectors are inserted. Male pins act as the ‘hot’ current path, as in most connectors, while female blades conduct in the opposite direction.

The 0872643252 also utilizes a specific locking mechanism in order to improve connection reliability. This locking mechanism ensures that the contacts are positively engaged, thereby helping to reduce risks associated with a poor connection. The mechanics involved in this locking mechanism also help to improve the contact life of the connectors.

To improve the performance of connectors, specific processes can be employed to enhance their integrity. For instance, gold flash plating is often used to improve the conductivity of the connectors, and insulation displacement contacts can be used in place of solder connections. These processes help to enhance the quality and reliability of the connectors.

Conclusion

The 0872643252 is a newly developed plastic insulating rectangular connector. It can be used in a range of applications requiring different levels of pin density and can take the form of either male or female connectors. The telecommunications, automotive, home electrical and medical industries are all sectors where this type of connector can be used. The design of these connectors includes a unique locking mechanism in order to improve connection reliability, and processes such as gold plating and insulation displacement contacts can also be used to improve their quality.
