Rectangular connectors, which are one of the most commonly used product-connecting systems, are designed to provide quick and secure connections in a variety of applications.However, because of the large variety of rectangular connectors on the market, it can be difficult to identify the type of connector best suited for a specific application.In this article we will explain the features and working principles of rectangular connectors, specifically Headers and Male Pins.

Headers

Headers are the components of a rectangular connector system which make electrical contact between two circuits. They are typically used for quick connections in both signal and power applications. Headers are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes depending on the type and number of circuits to be connected. The most common types of headers are single row and dual row. Single row headers are most commonly used for low current signal applications, while dual row headers are used for higher current applications. The header pins can be surface mounted, through-hole mounted, or some combination of both.

Male Pins

Male pins are the components of a rectangular connector system that make physical contact with female connectors. They are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, depending on the application. They range from simple pins to complex connectors comprising multiple pins and receptacles. For the most part, male pins are used to connect circuits, however some are designed for mounting onto printed circuit boards or other surfaces. The most common types of male pins are single row and dual row. Single row pins are usually used for low-power signal applications, while dual row pins are used for higher current applications. The pins can be surface mounted, through-hole mounted, or some combination of both.

Working Principle

The working principle of a rectangular connector is simple. When the provider and receiver mating parts are connected, a connection is made. The actual connection occurs in one of two ways: either a metal-to-metal connection is made when the male and female pins are connected, or an electrical connection is made when a socket contacts the ribbon cable within a connector and the other end is connected to a mating socket.The contact between the two parts that makes the connection is often referred to as a “spring-down” connection. This is because the male part is “spring-down” into the female part, holding them firmly together and creating an electrical connection.

Conclusion

Rectangular connectors provide a convenient and reliable means of making temporary and permanent electrical connections. Headers and male pins are among the most common types of rectangular connectors, and they have a variety of uses in both signal and power applications. The working principle of a rectangular connector is fairly simple, and is based upon the metallurgical and electrical contact between two mating parts.
