Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

1-1565994-4 is a kind of rectangular connector, also called header, receptacle, and female socket. Generally speaking, these connectors are used for making an electrical connection between two electronic devices, such as a computer and its peripheral equipment or a computer and its communication device. There are many types of 1-1565994-4, including board-to-board, cable-to-board, front-plane, card-edge, and wire-to-board.

Application Field

As mentioned above, the 1-1565994-4 connectors provide electrical connection between two electronic devices. They are widely used in many applications such as industrial, telecommunications, consumer electronics, medical equipment, computers, and automotive. For examples, they can be used for connecting LED lights, inverters, industrial displays, medical testing machines, memory modules, and motors. In addition, these connectors can also be used as a power source in automotive components and electronic devices, for example, in energy storage systems.

Working Principle

A 1-1565994-4 connector consists of two parts: the header and the receptacle. The header is typically a male connector with points, which is inserted into the female receptacle. A pair of these two parts create a simple electrical connection and provide mechanical stability.

When a 1-1565994-4 connector is assembled, the electrical connection is built up through the pins of the header and the pins of the receptacle. The pins on the header are usually soldered onto the circuit board; then the pins of the receptacle are mated together. The pins of the receptacle have a plastic housing which helps the two parts to maintain contact when the components are connected. Lastly, the two parts are connected to each other to form the electrical connection.

1-1565994-4 connectors have an advantage over other types of connectors because they have more flexibility. They can be arranged in any manner and in any combination. Different pin layouts, board-to-board, cable-to-board, wire-to-board are available. Additionally, this type of connector is also designed for reliability due to its contact retention strength, vibration resistance, and corrosion resistance.
