Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 304-11-108-41-780000 mating connector is a type, series, and family of high quality and professionally made rectangular connectors that serves a wide array of electrical, telecommunications, networking, and electronic applications. It is composed of several headers, receptacles, and female sockets.

Types of Connectors

The 304-11-108-41-780000 connector is composed of several basic components, each of which has its own specific features, design, and application. These are the female header, the female receptacle, and the female socket.

• Female header: This is a three-part system composed of a header, plug body, and socket body. The header serves to retain the plug and socket bodies to the PC board. It has self-aligning feature, which allows the pins of the plug to self-align with those of the socket when plugging in or out. It also prevents the possibility of reverse insertion.
• Female receptacle: This plug component has one open side and one closed side. The open side allows for the insertion of the plug component. The closed side ensures that the plug pairs snugly and securely with the receptacle. It also prevents any damage to the contacts or the circuit card.
• Female socket: The female socket is used as the main connection for the socket to the board. It has an open front side for the plug to be inserted, and the closed back side allows for reliable and strong connection to the circuit board. This ensures that the plug fits properly and securely, and prevents any kind of damage or corrosion.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 304-11-108-41-780000 mating connector is quite simple. It relies on two mating pieces which are connected together through the contact of the pins. The female header is attached to the board while the female receptacle and socket work together when inserted, and both of these are held together by the header. The contact between the female header, receptacle and socket results in a secure and strong connection, making sure that the components are electrically and physically connected.
