Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are becoming increasingly popular today due to their simple form factor, increased functionality, and cost benefits. The 2-446080-3 is a type of rectangular header pin that has been gaining popularity in a multitude of application fields for its unique advantages. This article looks to provide an in-depth look into the 2-446080-3 and its application field and working principle.

The 2-446080-3 is an 8-pole male rectangular pin header. It is also known as a socket. It is generally composed of plastic housing with a metal contact area. The pin header is widely used in applications where space is a primary concern due to its compact size. The 2-446080-3 is designed with a built-in strain relief feature, which makes it particularly suitable for high vibration applications.

The 2-446080-3 is primarily used in common electronics such as power supplies, computers, communication equipment, and circuits. It provides connection in very dense fields. It can also be used in automotive, industrial and aerospace applications. The pin header can provide reliable connections to female headers in low-voltage/low current applications such as telecom/network, instrumentation, and consumer products. The 2-446080-3 is ideal for SFF (Small Form Factor) designs and is UL/cUL listed for use in high-vibration applications.

The working principle of the 2-446080-3 is pretty simple. The pin header consists of an insulation housing with metal contacts housed within. In a typical application, the header is connected to a female connector (also known as a socket), which consists of a series of metal contact pads arranged in a similar fashion. The female connector is connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) or a wire harness. When the two connectors are mated, a reliable electrical connection is created.

The outer shells of the two connectors are designed to be compatible. This allows for the connectors to securely hold the contacts in place, preventing them from short-circuiting. The contacts are also designed in a way that they make a reliable connection even after repeatedly being mated and un-mated. This feature has made the 2-446080-3 a popular choice in applications where frequent disconnection and reconfiguration are necessary.

The 2-446080-3 can be placed into a printed circuit board or connected to a wire harness with ease. It has a simple design that makes it quick to install and uninstalls. Soldering is not necessary because the metal contacts of the header are designed to press-fit into the female connector. This eliminates the need for complicated assembly processes, thus reducing cost and increasing efficiency.

Overall, the 2-446080-3 is an excellent choice for a variety of applications. Its compact form factor, built-in strain relief feature, and simple installation make it a popular choice in a range of applications. Its reliability, affordability, and easy handling has made it a very viable alternative for SFF designs, power supplies, telecom/network, consumer products, automobiles, and other industrial applications.
