Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular connectors are a type of connector composed of two mating components. The two components of a rectangular connector consist of both a male header and female header. The male header has an assortment of row pegs, pins or blades that connect to a female header that has an assortment of holes. The rectangular connector consists of a similar row and column mating pattern that allows two components to connect significantly faster and with more efficiency than traditional soldering. Typically both the male and female headers consist of insulation plastic with metal conductors. Depending on the particular type of rectangular connector, certain components may be built to carry a greater or lesser amount of power or voltage.

1053112108 Application Field and Working Principle

The Part number 1053112108 is a 2.00mm Board-to-Board connector. This type of connector with a 2-row and 6-position pitch pattern and a narrow width is useful in applications with limited space restrictions. Typical applications include but are not limited to applications such as wireless communication, automotive and industrial control where space is a premium.This 2.00mm board-to-board connector works by having a male header with two rows of 6 pins each. This male header will mate with a female header, which also consists of two rows of 6 holes for each pin. As the header’s make connection, power and/or signal is routed directly from the male header to the female header. Depending on the particular application and the voltage and current levels used, this rectangular male pin header connector can handle voltages values up to 7.0 Amps and can be adapted for use with higher voltage applications as well.

Materials and Durability

Materials used in board-to-board male pin header connections vary. Depending on the application, the material used in the male headers and female headers may be copper filled alloys of polybutylene terephthalate for insulation plastic connectors. The copper alloy trace may consist of either phosphorus bronze or brass. The contacts in the male and female headers are gold plated which help reduce the possibility of corrosion and oxidation.Board-to-board male pin header connectors are highly rated for endurance testing and are designed to last for up to 500 cycles. This connector is also designed to withstand temperatures up to 105°C, so it can be used in a wide range of applications without worry of it becoming damaged or suffering a loss of performance.

Overall Benefits

The Part number 1053112108 is a highly reliable and durable lightweight 2.00mm board-to-board connector. These connectors offer low insertion of up to 3.0 Amps and can also operate in temperatures up to 105°C. These connectors are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and are UL 94-V0 approved for flame retardancy. Furthermore, since the male and female headers of the Part number 1053112108 rectangular connector are easily connected, this type of connector allows for easy installation and removal as needed.
