Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors are versatile and commonly used in a variety of applications. There are three major types, namely headers, receptacles and female sockets. The 0873814063 is an example of a rectangular receptacle, and it is widely used in both commercial as well as industrial systems.

Application field

The 0873814063 is a 5.5mm pitch, female connector that can be used in any application that requires a female receptacle. It is highly suited for micro ribbon connectors in medical and instrumentation equipment, as it can accommodate up to four circuits in each channel. It is also ideal for connectors between a PC and a monitor or a TV, as it has low insertion and withdrawal forces, and its electrical contacts are very reliable.

The 0873814063 can also be used in flat panel displays, where its low-profile design and light weight make it perfect for providing multi-point connection between the control display interface and the LCD display.

The 0873814063 is also ideal for computer disc drives, as it can be easily mounted to allow secure connections, while its high-temperature range also ensures its long-term reliability. In addition, its small size saves space and improves the airflow inside the chassis of the computer.

Working principle

The 0873814063 features two rows of 4 female pins, and each pin is gold-plated ensuring reliable electrical connections. The pins are arranged in a series, with an insulating material between the two rows. This material serves as a dielectric, creating an electrical isolation that protects from external environmental disturbances.

The 0873814063 is designed with ridges on the housing that provide secure positioning of the pins. This prevents displacement and ingress of dust, debris, and condensation that could upset the electrical connection. Additionally, the lead-in pins are designed to ensure a snug fit when connected.

Conclusion

The 0873814063 is an ideal choice for a variety of applications, especially those that require electrical connections in small spaces. Its low-profile design, light-weight, and reliable electrical contacts make it perfect for use in micro ribbon connectors, flat panel displays, and computer disc drives.
