Headers and receptacles, also known as female sockets, are a type of rectangular connector commonly used in electrical and electronic applications. A header is the male part of the connector, which has metal pins that mate with the female socket or receptacle. The pin assembly that mates with the receptacle is usually riveted, soldered, or press-fit into the connector body. It is usually a paralleled row of pins or terminals. Once the pins or terminals are in place, they are suspended within the receptacle body and are available for connection.

The best headers and receptacles have a plastic body that may be either molded or machined. The rear of the body typically contains slots which accept screws or a lock-down nut which allows the posts to be secured to the component board. The most common type of pin, as well as the most reliable, is a spring-loaded, tapered pin. These pins are inserted into the component board to make contact with the mating receptacle, usually with a soldering iron.

Headers and receptacles come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be found in almost all circumstances. Some of the most common types are the AB type which is commonly used in networking products, the 0.1" type which is used in high-power applications such as industrial control, and then the 0.66" type which is commonly used in automotive applications. All of these types are also available with a pass-through pin and can be configured in several different ways. Depending on the application, the pass-through pin can be bent to meet the specific needs of the application.

One of the most popular types of headers and receptacles in use is the 153226-2020-TH. This type of connector offers increased reliability and performance in applications where high power levels are required. The TH series is designed to handle higher currents and voltages and are ideal for areas such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial control. The TH series connectors feature a single row of pins with thread-lock and static electrical shields for added protection. This connector is designed for ease of use in fields such as medical, industrial and research.

The working principle behind 153226-2020-TH connectors is simple. The pins on the connector are electrically insulated from one another and from the outside environment. This isolation helps to reduce the interference which is caused by adjacent components and the environment. Additionally, the inner pins are connected to a positive voltage source. When the positive voltage is applied to the inner pin, the pin will contact with the receptacle, and the connection is made.

The 153226-2020-TH connected system has several advantages over other types of connections. For example, the insulating material that separates the pins from each other and from the outer shells provides additional protection from shock and vibration. Moreover, since the pins are soldered to the receptacle, there is a secure electrical connection between the pins and the receptacle, which prevents electrical contact when the mating parts are not in contact. This is especially important for applications that require high power.

Overall, the 153226-2020-TH connector is one of the most versatile connectors currently available for industrial, medical, and research applications. It is robust, reliable, and easy to use. Its reliable connection helps to reduce interference while providing higher levels of performance and reliability.
