Rectangular Connectors - Housings

A connector housing is the enclosure for a contact or group of contacts in a rectangular connector. Connector housings allow for connection of the contact with a mating connector, often referred to as a plug or a header. They come in two main styles: open frame, in which the holes between the contacts are exposed after assembling, and closed frame, in which the holes are filled.
