Rectangular connectors are used in a wide variety of applications where two electrical signals or systems need to be connected together. The technology is not limited to any one area of electronics and can be used for a variety of applications. Rectangular connectors are typically used in the form of headers, receptacles, or female sockets. In this article we will explore the 1417200000 application field and working principle of each of these types.

Headers

Headers are one of the most basic and common types of rectangular connectors and are often referred to as PCB connectors or board to board connectors. Headers are typically used to connect PCBs together. The two boards are typically connected together with a plug and socket setup. The plug is usually inserted into the socket and then secured by a metal board screw. The pin connectors located in the socket make the electrical connection between the two boards. Headers are typically designed using a 3-pin, 4-pin, or 5-pin design.

Headers usually come in an array of sizes and pitch. The pitch is the distance between two pin centers and usually varies from 1mm to 5mm. The size of the header also varies from 3 mm to 15mm. Commonly used header types are shrouded headers, dual row headers, and plastic molded headers.

Receptacles

Receptacles are usually used to connect a printed circuit board to a device such as a power supply, display device, or other device. This type of connector is commonly found in consumer electronics and automotive applications. Receptacles typically come in a variety of designs, including press-fit, snap-in, or locking versions. The pin connectors located in the socket make the electrical connection between the two devices.

Receptacles come in different sizes and shapes. The two most common sizes are the single row and dual row designs. The single row is typically used to connect a single than a dual row. These connectors also come in a variety of pitch sizes. The most common pitch sizes range from 2.54mm to 15mm.

Female Sockets

Female sockets are similar to headers in that they are used to connect one board to another. The main difference is that they usually contain only one row of pins on a small connector. The pins are arranged in a cross shape and are designed to connect into a male pin in the board or socket. Female sockets are commonly used to connect power supplies, displays, and other devices to printed circuit boards.

Female sockets also come in a variety of sizes and shapes. The most popular sizes are the flat and right-angle versions. The pitch of the female sockets vary from 1mm to 5mm. Some female sockets are also designed with surface mountTechnology for easier and more secure assembly.

Working Principle of Connectors

The working principle of connectors is relatively simple. The pins on the connector are designed to be inserted into the corresponding socket in the board or other device. Once the pins are in the socket, the electrical connection is made, allowing the two devices to communicate and exchange signals. The design of the pins and sockets is such that they provide a strong and durable connection.

The pins in a connector are typically made of a copper or other metal alloy such as brass or bronze. The pins are then plated with a protective layer of nickel or gold to increase the life span and reduce the potential for corrosion. The socket is usually made of plastic and contains a metallic layer that provides a contact surface when the pins are inserted.

Rectangular connectors are a versatile and useful technology that is used in a wide variety of applications. Headers, receptacles, and female sockets are all types of connectors that are suitable for different applications. Each type is designed differently and has its own unique working principle.
