Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins have earned their popularity due to their wide range of applications and simple working principles.

Background

A rectangular connector is a multipin device used to connect multiple circuits together. These connectors come in a variety of sizes and shapes, with a range of number of pins. There are two main types of rectangular connectors: Headers and Male Pins - each of which has its own set of uses and benefits.

Application Field

Headers are usually used in applications which require a high number of pins or a low profile such as edge connectors or board-to-board connectors. Commonly found in PCBs, they provide a connection between different components on a printed circuit board. Similarly, male pins are commonly used for surface mounting devices and used as a bridge between two circuits. They are also used in prototyping to easily connect circuits together.

Working Principle

The working principle of a header is fairly simple. The pin connectors are inserted into the header which is then secured by a locking mechanism. The key to efficient operation is that the pin to pin contact must be kept secure and must not loosen; this is achieved by ensuring the locking mechanism is effective and that any excess force is not applied.

Male pins on the other hand work using an insertion principle. The pins are inserted into a matching terminal on the device to ensure effective electrical connection. The pins are then secured in place with a locking mechanism, such as a screw, to ensure they don’t come out during operation.

Conclusion

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are versatile electrical components that offer a wide range of applications, thanks to their simple working principles. Their easy-to-use nature makes them popular in a variety of fields, from edge connectors, board-to-board connectors, surface mounted devices, and prototyping.
