Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins
09185265922, or MIL-C-83503 Series II, square-shaped pin connectors, are a type of rectangular connector commonly used in electronics. Rectangular connectors are comprised of three parts: a base, a header, and male pins. The base is a sheet of insulating material, such as paper, cardboard, or plastic, that supports the other two components. The header is a metal casing that houses the pins, and the pins are metal pieces that extend into the base. The pins are usually silver or gold in color and come in several sizes and shapes. They are designed to give a tight and secure connection when assembled.
Application Field
MIL-C-83503 Series II rectangular connectors are used in a variety of applications, including:
- Automotive industry – used in automotive circuits for safety and electrical signals
- Computer industry – used for the connection of integrated circuit chips and other computer components
- Telecommunications equipment – used to connect telephone wires and other communication cables
- Industrial automation – used in the control of automated equipment, sensors, and actuators
- Military equipment – used in the construction of military equipment such as radios and other communication systems
Working Principle
Rectangular connectors work by forming a tight electrical connection between two pieces of PCB boards, or between two connectors carriers. The header of the connector has a set of slots, which are designed to accommodate a set of pins. When the two pieces of PCB boards are placed together, the pins fit into the slots in the header, forming a secure and reliable connection. The header also serves to provide insulation between the pins and the PCB boards, preventing any short circuits from occurring.
In order to ensure a secure connection, panels should be placed in the correct position and the pins should be firmly pressed into the header. Any discrepancies in the connection of the panels will increase the likelihood of a faulty connection. It is also important to ensure that the pins are firmly pushed into the header so that there is no gap between the two pieces of PCB boards.
