Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, 280387-2 Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are a type of electrical connector. As their name suggests, rectangular connectors are constructed with a rectangular body, usually with one side having a single mounting hole. Commonly used for industrial machinery, automotive and other specialized applications, these connectors feature male headers, female connectors, and specialized male pins.

The 280387-2 connector is a low-profile rectangular connector that is designed to provide reliable, field-assembled connections in tight spaces. This compact device is known for its use in adapted audio/video (AV) equipment, telecom and computer cables, and industrial systems. These connectors are used when accessibility or limited space–such as in tight spaces–is an issue.

Application Field of the 280387-2 Connector

The 280387-2 connector is a good fit for tight spaces, where traditional connectors do not fit. It\'s versatile and able to be used in a variety of applications, including:

• Medical equipment
• Computer systems
• Telecommunications
• Audio/video equipment
• Industrial systems

Working Principle of the 280387-2 Connector

The 280387-2 connector uses a two-piece design with male headers and female terminals. The two pieces of the connector come together, creating an electrical connection. To ensure that the connection is secure, the male headers and female terminals are secured together with a strain relief latching mechanism. This mechanism helps to ensure that the connection is not disturbed during assembly or operation, and also helps to protect the contacts from outside environmental influences.

The headers and terminals of the 280387-2 connector are constructed from high-grade metal with individual galvanized isolation clips. These clips protect the pins from corrosion and provide additional strain relief for the connection. The terminals and headers are also marked with different colored labels for easy identification and installation.

Overall, the 280387-2 connector is designed to provide reliable electrical connections in tight spaces. Its two-piece design and strain relief latch make it an ideal solution for various applications, such as medical equipment, computer systems, and audio/video equipment.
