Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

0878344019 is a type of rectangular connector, featuring headers and male pins. This type of connectors makes electrical connections by means of two conducting plates made from either plastic or metal. It ensures an ideal connection in a variety of applications.

Application Fields

0878344019 offers reliable and secure connections in medical, industrial, consumer, automotive, and computer peripherals applications. The 00-level pin headers, for instance, are suitable for custom applications fits onto standard printed circuit boards (PCBs). Its low contact resistance offers electrical connectivity applications that require low contact resistance.

The applications for this type of connector also include:

• Industrial automation control
• Inductor manufacturing
• Consumer electronic equipment
• Automotive electrical components
• Computer and peripherals
• Medical device and equipment

Working Principle

The lockable latching housing of the 0878344019 is composed of two parts, the mating side and the insert side. Each side is machined from corrosion resistant and durable metal or plastic, in accordance with a wide variety of standard sizes and materials. The two halves fit snugly on acceptance, ensuring proper contact and suitable protection from external stress and strain. Each contact slide into the other with relative ease, providing an air-tight seal and correct contact while maintaining their original size and position.

The rectangular receptacles allow for flexibility when utilizing different sizes and types of contacts, ranging from single-row, dual-row, right-facing, and left-facing configurations. Single-row up to three rows of contacts for the mating side, and single-row to dual row for the receptacle side. The inner contacts are either stamp or machined, and allows for a secure locking mechanism when engaged.

0878344019 has an easy assembly/disassembly process, allowing for quick and easy installation and removal. During installation, first the receptacle and then the mating side are inserted into the housing, before securing with a locking clip. To ensure proper contact, the contacts on both sides are carefully inspected for misalignment and freedom of movement. With regards to the housing, both parts must fit together tightly and with minimal clearance. The housing is then secured to a PCB, or to a hood or sub-plate assembly.

In terms of performance, the contact, in combination with the housing offers the highest levels of reliability, stability, and operability. This ensures the routed connections are reliable and protected from any form of damage or misalignment. This type of connector also provides excellent shock and vibration resistance as it is manufactured with high-strength materials.
