Rectangular connectors, or headers, male pins, are a type of electrical connector often used in the electronics industry for a variety of purposes. They are typically used to connect various components, such as transistors, capacitors, resistors, and integrated circuits, to each other or to a printed circuit board. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and must meet a range of electrical and mechanical requirements to ensure they provide a reliable connection.

The most common type of rectangular connector is the 1-1971840-1, commonly known as the “header” or “male pin” connector. This type of connector is usually found in printed circuit boards, as well as in other products such as telephone equipment, computers, automobiles, and even toys.

The 1-1971840-1 is a two-position, polarizing-pin connector, which enables two wires to be connected in a single, common location. The two positions on each side of the connector are usually arranged such that they form a closed loop. A small spring-loaded pin is seated in each of the two positions, providing a secure connection between the two wires.

The 1-1971840-1 header has a range of applications that can make it a versatile choice for many design solutions. It is commonly used as an interconnect between electronic components, such as switches or sensors, or in the connection of wiring or cabling between different boards or hardware. The two-position arrangement also makes it useful for applications such as power switching in power supplies or other electrical products.

The working principle of the 1-1971840-1 header is quite simple. When the pin on the bottom of the connector is pushed into a mating socket, the spring-loaded pin is engaged, making a secure connection between the two wires. The contact between the two pins is maintained by the spring tension of the connector, ensuring a reliable connection and helping to prevent accidental disconnection.

The 1-1971840-1 header connector can provide a reliable, low-cost solution for a wide range of applications in the electronics industry. Its simple, two-position design and spring-loaded pins ensure a dependable connection between the two wires, while its versatility makes it suitable for a large variety of tasks.
