Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The 1-1971845-4 rectangular connector is formed by putting together two components, a header and a male pin. The header is usually made of plastic, while the male pin is typically made of metal. These two components are combined together using a type of crimping apparatus.

These types of connectors are often used in many applications. They are commonly used in computer, automotive, audio, instrumentation, power, and communications systems. In computer systems, they are most often used for data transmission, as well as for different signal management. In automotive applications, they are used for connecting a variety of components, including sensors, switches, controls, among others.

Application Field

The 1-1971845-4 can be used in many different applications. They can be used in power systems where they are used to transfer large currents. They are also used as a secure and reliable connection in ground buses and on the ground tracks of printed circuit boards. In instrumentation applications, they are usually used to send signals from sensors and process controllers to main instrumentation boards.

These rectangular connectors are also used in automotive and communication systems. In automotive systems, they can be used to connect fuel system components, controls for the ignition system, lights indicators, and emission controls. In communications applications, they can be used as a high-performance digital signal connector.

Working Principle

The 1-1971845-4 rectangular connector works on the principle of electrical contact. To make a connection, the female header is inserted into the male pin until secure. The electrical connection is then made through physical contact, usually with the help of soldered joints.

The contact surface of the header and the male pin should be designed in such a way that no contact is made when the connector is not in use. This helps to avoid any potential short-circuit hazard. The contact surfaces should also be configured to ensure that they are always connected when the female header and male pin are inserted.

In addition, the contact force between the header and the male pin should be maintained. This helps to maintain the electrical connection between the two components. The mechanical properties of the connector should be designed to withstand different mechanical forces, such as shock and vibration.

The 1-1971845-4 is a reliable and versatile rectangular connector. It is commonly used in many applications due to its high performance, reliability, and flexibility. The connector is designed in such a way that it can withstand different operating conditions, including shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures.
