Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

2-178488-1 rectangular connectors are highly versatile components with broad application range and wide acceptance around the world. They are the go-to connector for many types of devices and applications. This article provides an overview of 2-178488-1 application field and working principle.

Application Field

2-178488-1 rectangular connectors are mainly used for the connection between wires, cables, circuits, connectors and other wiring-related components. It is often used in the connection of solder-less terminals, printed circuit boards, computers, control systems, instruments, radar systems, communication systems and many other electronic products. Its main advantage lies in its ability to provide effective electrical connection between wires, circuits, etc. without soldering.

2-178488-1 connectors are commonly used in a variety of industrial and commercial cities, such as automotive, telecommunications, medical/ dental, navigation, power, lighting, display, fire protection, aerospace, automation control and security.

Working Principle

The 2-178488-1 rectangular connector includes two main components: a plug and a socket. The plug, which forms the male side of the connector, houses two, four, six or eight individual metal contact pins. The pins are fitted into sturdy, non-conductive plastic insulators. The socket portion of the connector houses two, four, six or eight female contact receptacles. The receptacles are made from a metal alloy or plastic insulators.

The plug portion of the connector can be inserted into the corresponding socket adapter. The connection is made by first adjusting the contact points of the plug contain to correspond to the contact points of the socket. Then the plug is inserted firmly into the socket, and the connection is securely made. Once connected, electrical systems can be powered up or sent signals without interference or degradation.

Conclusion

2-178488-1 rectangular conntecors are widely used in many major industries. From automotive to commercial, these versatile connectors are necessary components to connect different types of wires and circuits. Their ability to create a secure, low-resistance connection without soldering makes them perfect for large-scale applications and critical projects.
