Rectangular Connectors popularly known as Headers, Male Pins are devices employed in low power electrical / electronic hardware designs as well as telecom and datacom network systems. Generally used for board-to-board interconnects along with IC sockets, these have two parts such as a connector with pins on one end and a receptacle with sockets on the other end.

2-5499160-4 is a type of rectangular connectors, headers, male pins that are used in various industrial application fields such as medical and aerospace and most commonly for data, audio, video or telecommunications applications. It has a panel mountable connector with two rows and is 4P type. This type of connector has 4 main parts namely housing, pin, cage and shielding can, and is featured by its horizontal mounting and vertical termination. The number of pins ranges from 2 to 4, although the 2-5499160-4 connector comes with 4 pins.

Working principle

The rectangular connector works on a pin and socket principle. It consists of an unequal number of male contacts (pins) mounted in a shrouded header and enclosed in an insulating plastic body and a corresponding number of female sockets mounted on a printed circuit board or other bulkhead or panel. Therefore, when the connector is plugged together, the pins move to the right side of the socket and are secured in place by a key or locking extra housing piece.

When the pins are moved to the right side of the socket, there is physical contact between the two contacts and current flows from open to closed contact points. The contacts can carry low voltages and currents and can also be the source of signal transmission.

In addition to providing a connection between two wires or cables, some rectangular connectors can be used to protect electrical components from damage caused by electrical surges. This type of protection is known as over-voltage protection. The connector can also be used as a plug-in type switch, and can also be used to control the supply of voltage to an electrical device.

Compared to other types of wiring systems, rectangular connectors are much easier to use because there is no need to be extra careful when handling them as the connection can be easily made by plugging in the connecting pins. There are even special tools designed to help with the installation of these connectors.

The 2-5499160-4 is a reliable and cost-effective technology for use in a wide range of applications including medical, aerospace and telecommunications. Its low cost, ease of use and reliability makes it an ideal choice for many types of connections.
