Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

2-216602-0 is an electrical connector in the rectangular shape family of connectors, also known as headers, receptacles, and female sockets. Designed to connect two electrical circuits, its 2-pin variety commonly is used to transmit power and ground signals.

2-216602-0 Application Field

The 2-216602-0 is one of the most popularly used connectors in different applications such as: laptop data ports, cellular audio jacks, computer keyboards, alarm control systems, and even some medical devices. They are also used in practical circuits as signal interconnectors. The closed-ended design allows the connector to easily fit mating ends and more importantly, protects it from dust, moisture, and other possible elements entering the contacts.

2-216602-0 Working Principle

The common plug on the female side of the connection is a 2-pin configuration, which allows for a neutral male and live male connector to be inserted into the same female connector. The first pin is usually larger and a live contact, while the second pin is the neutral contact. The contact pins are arranged in a "V" formation, and the contact surfaces are designed for high power applications.

When the two male contacts are inserted into the female connector, they make electrical contact either through contact points on the header or through a soldered joint. The contact surface of the 2-216602-0 makes contact with the mated header contact points. The contact pins on the header are in turn connected to a power source. These contact points allow for current to flow through the male contacts and then onto the circuit.

The contact surfaces of the 2-216602-0 are plated with gold or nickel, or other conductive materials, to ensure a secure electrical connection between the two connectors. The gold or nickel plating of the contacts increases the conductivity of the connection, reducing the chances of electrical shorts or contact failure due to oxidation.

The plastic part of the female connector is designed with a flange or hooks, which secure the connector to the mating header. The flanges ensure that the connector isn’t easily dislodged from its mating header, as well as providing a strain relief to the connection.

Advantages of Using 2-216602-0 Connectors

The 2-216602-0 connector offers a number of advantages to its users. It is relatively small, which means that designers have more options for its placement. In addition, its closed-ended design makes it less susceptible to dust, moisture, and other elements that may enter the contact pins. The male contact pins are kept securely in place by the female connector’s flanges or hooks, and the contact surface plating allows for a secure connection between the two terminals. This makes the connector an ideal choice for high power applications.

The 2-216602-0 connector is also relatively inexpensive and easy to find. Furthermore, due to its small size, it does not take up a lot of space and can fit into even the tightest of spaces. Finally, the connector is designed to be used in harsh environments, where it is secure and protected from outside elements, such as dust, weather, and other contaminants.
