1-794634-6

Rectangular connectors, such as the 1-794634-6, are an essential connection type for many applications. They are typically used for power, signal, and data transmission, providing an efficient and cost-effective pathway between components. The 1-794634-6 Style rectangular connectors consist of two key components: Headers and Male Pins.

Headers are the main piece of the 1-794634-6. They provide mechanical support with durable guides that interface with the circuits on the PCB. The headers are composed of two separate parts, the outer body of the housing and the connection areas, which are either formed or machined depending on the manufacturing process. Due to their construction, headers are generally offered in two main sizes, 12 and 24 pins, and for use with ribbon cables and single cables.

Male Pins are the second key part of the 1-794634-6 style rectangular connector. They are designed to fit closely to the header and form a strong connection as well as the electrical pathways between the components. Male Pins are available with a variety of contact types and in different configurations. Some are simply cast and have a smooth pin-like shape, while others are machined with cross-shaped slots for robustness. The most common type of male pin used for the 1-794634-6 is the box Crimp Pin, which has a more secure connection due to its construction.

The 1-794634-6 style rectangular connectors are used in many fields, most notably the automotive and consumer electronic industries. They provide a stable connection and are suitable for high-speed data transmission. In the automotive industry, these connectors are used in various systems such as exhaust gas and fuel lines, as well as ECUs and sensors. In consumer electronics, they are broadly used for plug and play communication and multimedia devices such as smartphones, tablets, cameras, and more.

The 1-794634-6 style rectangular connectors operate on simple principles. First, the headers and male pins must be correctly aligned to ensure that the intricate connections will be made. After alignment, the two parts can then be pushed together and the male pins can be crimped into place, forming the strong connection between the two components. This process is often automated with the use of specialized equipment, allowing for a quick and reliable connection.

In summary, the 1-794634-6 style rectangular connectors are ideal for a variety of applications. Thanks to their strength and durability, they provide reliable connections with minimal maintenance. The headers and male pins of this style of connector create a versatile connection for signal, power, and data transmission.
