Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors are among the most widely used connectors in the electrical industry. They are especially popular in industrial and commercial equipment, automotive applications, and robotics. The term "rectangular" refers to the shape of the connection on the device known as the connector - two pins or prongs that insert into sockets. Examples of potential uses for a rectangular connector include wiring, connecting power supplies, distributing power, and providing electrical signals. Typically, a rectangular connector is used to plug one device into another device, such as connecting a laptop to a desktop computer.There are three main types of rectangular connectors: headers, receptacles, and female sockets. Each offers unique advantages and challenges based on the particular application.

Headers

Headers, also called pin headers, are the simplest and most common type of rectangular connectors. A header pin is typically a simple, symmetrical metal pin with an annular collar at each end. The collar creates a physical connection between the two adjacent pins when inserted into a mating device. Therefore, headers are generally used to provide a mechanical link between two devices. Headers are popular for establishing a low-cost, low-flexibility connection.Headers are often used on boards to connect a daughtercard. In this case, the header pins on the board provide a path for the power and data to flow between the daughtercard and the body of the board. Some headers have a polarization feature, which prevents the pins from being inserted incorrectly.

Receptacles

Receptacles are also commonly known as connectors or plugs. They are designed to fit the shapes of the mating device’s pin headers and provide a secure and reliable connection. Receptacles usually consist of two round contact, item numbers 1 and 2, and one cubic item number 7, usually used to lock the plug into the socket. Receptacles offer higher flexibility than headers, as they can accommodate different pin configurations.Receptacles are commonly used in audio-visual equipment, such as televisions and projectors. For example, many LCD and LED TVs use a receptacle connection to link audio and video components together. They are also frequently used in automotive electrical systems to deliver power from the battery to the car’s electronic devices.

Female Sockets

Female sockets, also known as jacks, are designed to accept and securely hold in place the mating male plugs. They often consist of two round contacts, item numbers 3 and 4, and one oval contact, item number 8. This style of connector is commonly used in high-speed data transfer applications, such as USB ports.Female sockets are commonly found in electronic devices such as cell phones, game consoles, and computers. For example, USB ports on a laptop or PC allow the user to connect various external devices, such as keyboards, mice, and external hard drives. These ports often use female sockets to provide a secure connection and deliver data quickly and reliably.

Conclusion

Rectangular connectors are a type of electrical connector that has a rectangular shape and two pins or prongs. The three most common types of rectangular connectors are headers, receptacles, and female sockets. Headers are the simplest and most common type of rectangular connectors and are used to establish a low-cost, low-flexibility connection. Receptacles, also known as connectors or plugs, fit the shapes of the mating device’s pin headers and provide a secure and reliable connection. Female sockets, also known as jacks, are designed to accept and securely hold in place the mating male plugs. They are commonly used in high-speed data transfer applications, such as USB ports. Rectangular connectors are used in a variety of industries and applications, including industrial and commercial equipment, automotive applications, and robotics.
