0877591815, or Rectangular Connectors - Headers & Male Pins, are designed to connect various components together in an electronic application. It is much more compact and economical, compared to the traditional connector assembly, whereby hundreds of wires had to be connected in order to form a complete system. Generally, the components involved in the connection are as follows: a housing, a contacts, a terminals and pins.

The housing of the rectangular connector acts as a base for the other components of the assembly and provides a mechanical support. It is typically made of molded plastic, or diecast zinc alloy. The contacts, made of metal, are usually female sockets that connect to male pins, and they provide the functional connection between the two. Finally, the terminals provide electrical isolation and protection for the contacts.

The male pins of the rectangular connector can be either solid or stranded, depending on the application requirements. Solid pins are usually made of brass, while stranded pins are usually plated with copper. Generally, the extension of the male pin is the same length as the insulation thickness of the surrounding wires in order to ensure a reliable connection. Besides, there are high-speed locking mechanisms that secure the connection with a twist or snap-shut action.

The working principle of rectangular connectors is quite simple. The contacts allow electrical signals to pass through them, while the terminals provide insulation, thereby preventing any unwanted connection between the two. Next, when the male pins of the connector are pushed into the female sockets, the contacts are in contact with each other and the electrical signals can pass through them. And the locking mechanism ensures that the connection is kept secure.

Lastly, if the connections are to be permanent, the terminals and male pins are soldered into place. This offers higher durability and reliability than if the connection was made with a simple locking mechanism.

In summary, rectangular connectors - headers and male pins are an essential component of many electronic systems. They provide a connection between components without the need for hundreds of wires, and their working principle is fairly simple. With their flexibility, reliability and cost-effectiveness, they are a great choice for any application.
