Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular connectors are used in applications that require a secure connection between two devices. They are made up of two parts: a header and a male pin. The header is a device that has two or more pins that are placed in the same connector and are connected to a cable or printed circuit board. The male pin is a device that connects directly to the header, providing an additional port for the connection.

These connectors are available in different shapes, sizes and materials. The shapes can range from square to rectangular or oval pins. The sizes also vary, with the smallest one being 2mm and the longest 12mm. The materials used for these connectors can include plastic, brass, aluminum, copper and other metals.

The working principle of the rectangular connectors is that when the male pin is inserted into the header, the pins get locked in place through a locking mechanism. This locking mechanism is designed to prevent accidental detachment and ensure a reliable and secure connection.

This kind of connector is widely used in various applications such as computers, consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial automation, medical equipment and automotive industry. In addition, they can be used in military and aerospace applications. These connectors are highly reliable and provide a fast connection. They also come with protection to make sure the pins are secure and do not get damaged.

They are very simple and easy to use. The users just have to insert the pins into the header and then secure them with a connector. It is important to make sure that the pins are lined up properly and that the holes in the header are also lined up properly. The connection should remain secure even in harsh and extreme conditions.

These connectors are very versatile and can be customized to fit specific requirements. They are also available in various levels of enclosures depending on the application and the required protection. Overall, rectangular connectors provide a reliable and secure connection and are widely used in different industries.
