Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, 173081-6: Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are widely used in various applications from electronic equipment and consumer items to industrial machinery. 173081-6 is one of the most popular and highly reliable rectangular connectors (also known as headers, male pins, and gate-to-socket). It is designed to answer the customer\'s needs in various applications such as telecom and audio/video equipment, automotive applications and other industrial settings.

Connector Types

173081-6 is a highly reliable rectangular connector with two different types — a plug type and a jack type. The plug type is an Unshrouded header designed to be mounted on PCBs. It is used together with insulation disposal crimp terminals and can accommodate wire sizes from AWG 28 up to AWG 12. The jack type, on the other hand, is a shrouded header and it is designed to be screwed onto boards or DIN enclosures. It allows the use of insulation disposal crimp terminals and it fits standard .062" square pins.

Application Fields

173081-6 plug type and jack type connectors are widely used in a variety of applications. It is suitable for telecom equipment, audio/video equipment, automotive applications, industrial settings, and other equipment requiring a reliable connection. It is also suitable for applications where space is tight, as it can fit into narrow spaces.

Connector Build and Materials

173081-6 rectangular connectors are constructed of high quality, high-conductance material, such as brass or aluminum, and are UL recognized. The pins are gold plated, preventing corrosion and ensuring a good electrical connection. They are fitted with thermoplastic rubber seals, which protect the connector from dust and moisture. The material is also highly durable and reliable, ensuring a long life.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 173081-6 rectangular connectors is simple. The plug type connector is inserted into the jack type connector. The pins of the plug are then aligned with the holes of the jack. The terminals are then crimped onto the pins to create an electrical connection. Once the connection is made, the seals ensure that dust and moisture are kept out.

Pros and Cons

The 173081-6 rectangular connectors are widely used in a variety of applications due to their reliability, durability, and cost-effectiveness. They are also designed to fit into small spaces, making them ideal for tight applications. However, their comparatively low current capacity and bulky design can make them less preferred for some applications.
