Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

1-794040-0 is a rectangular connector header specifically manufactured with male pins. Rectangular Connectors are primarily used in sectors where high-reliability, low-voltage, low-power, and small profile requirements are key. This type of connector has many applications, ranging from communication, electronics and computer peripherals, medical and industrial factory automation systems.

Applications of 1-794040-0 Rectangular Connectors

• Robotics and Industrial Automation
• Communication Infrastructure
• Personal Computers (PCs)
• Wireless connections
• Data center systems
• Vehicle host and onboard infotainment systems

Working Principle of 1-794040-0 Rectangular Connectors

The 1-794040-0 Rectangular Connectors consists of two parts: the plug/male connector, and the jack/female connector. The plug is a socket containing a row of leather crimp pins, while the jack is a piece of plastic housing an array of contacts. When the plug is inserted into the jack, the pins snap into the contacts, creating an electrical connection. The connection is maintained due to the friction between the pins and contacts. To ensure a reliable connection, the pins must be the right size for the contacts they are being inserted into.

Advantages and Disadvantages of 1-794040-0 Rectangular Connectors

• Advantages:
  • High-temperature resistance
  • Compact, low-profile design
  • Waterproof, dustproof and corrosion-resistant
  • Easy to install
  • Low-voltage, low-power applications
• Disadvantages:
  • Costly
  • Fragile
  • Susceptible to interference
  • Difficult to re-wire

Conclusion

The 1-794040-0 Rectangular Connectors, one type of rectangular connector header with male pins, have many advantages, such as easy installation and power-saving for low-voltage and low-power applications. However, the 1-794040-0 is also expensive and delicate compared to other connectors.
