Headers

Headers are a type of rectangular connector that is usually a two-piece assembly consisting of a housing and female pins. The female pins are usually either two open ended or solid electrical contacts depending on the application. Headers are used for multiple communication connections such as providing a plug-in use for external power or signal.

Male Pins

Male pins are also a type of rectangular connector typically used for plugging into a female pin socket. They consist of both 2 and 3-pin configurations with the addition of being made of either plastic or metal. They are ideal for board-level connectors and wire-to-board connectors as they allow for low-profile, stable, cost-effective connections.

0877581418 Application Field and Working Principle

0877581418 are rectangular 3-pin headers, also referred to as male pins, that provide reliable, convenient and secure connections in a variety of applications. These headers are especially suited for custom and prototype PCB board-level connections, as well as industrial and commercial applications. The headers are made of plastic, and are typically used to connect the PCB board to cables.

When the male pins are inserted into the female socket, an electrical contact is made. With pre-tinned leads, an even better electrical contact can be achieved. The pins can also be electrically connected with a variety of styles of cable shields which provide added flexibility and more reliable connections. For instance, when connected with an appropriate cable shield, the pin can provide an environmental seal, an EMI ground, or both.

These male pins are typically available with a variety of contact types such as stamped and formed, straight, 90-degree and 180-degree bent contacts. The headers are also available in a variety of pitches to accommodate different PCB design requirements. They are compliant with several industry safety standards such as UL Recognition, TUV Certification, and CE Mark for technical safety, and also provide protection from environmental contaminants.
