Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, commonly known as the 2-644885-4 connectors, are ubiquitous in the electronics industry today. As one of the most popular styles of connectors, they offer many advantages such as versatility, cost effective installation and long service life.

The 2-644885-4 connectors are used in a wide variety of applications in both consumer and industrial electronics. They are commonly used in automotive wiring, electrical control systems, and as feed-thru connectors in electronic assemblies. The versatile shape and size of the 2-644885-4 connectors also make them suitable for use in tight spaces where other connectors may not fit.

The 2-644885-4 connectors are available in various lengths and finishes for a wide range of applications. The most common materials used in their construction are plated brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. The pins are typically made from gold-plated contacts offering excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.

The design of the 2-644885-4 connectors is quite simple, consisting of two mating halves with a series of pins that give the required mechanical and electrical connection when mated. The pins are usually the same diameter and have a flat bottom surface making them suitable for surface mounting. The pin spacing can be adjusted to fit application needs and the connectors can either be soldered or crimped.

The working principle of the 2-644885-4 connectors is straightforward. The pins are inserted into the mating halves to provide an electrical connection. It is important to ensure that the correct alignment of the pin and female sockets are made or else the connection may be erratic. The pins are positioned in the female socket and held in place with a tensioning spring or lock washer. As the pins are inserted the tensioning spring ensures a secure electrical connection.

The features of the 2-644885-4 connectors, along with their versatility and long service life, make them ideal for a range of applications. Their ability to be soldered or crimped makes them ideal for automotive, electrical control, and electronic assembly applications. They are also used in tight spaces where other connectors may not fit. The gold-plated contacts provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, making them particularly suitable for high temperature and damp environments.

The 2-644885-4 connectors are becoming increasingly popular due to their versatility, long service life, and ease of installation. With many applications requiring a reliable electrical connection, these connectors are an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications. As the demand for these connectors grows, the variety of sizes, materials and finishes is sure to grow along with it.
