Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors are a fundamental component in modern electrical systems. They are used to easily transfer power from one system to another while also allowing for the transfer of other data signals as well. In this article, we will look at the application, field and working principle of Part No. 316-91-105-41-007000, a type of rectangular connector commonly used for various purposes.

Application

Rectangular connectors such as Part No. 316-91-105-41-007000 are typically used in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. These applications include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Telecommunications
• Automotive
• Computers
• Control systems and automation
• Audio/visual equipment
• Medical equipment
• Industrial control systems
• Aerospace

These types of connectors are also suitable for use in harsh environments, such as those that may contain corrosive or high temperature/humidity elements.

Field

Part No. 316-91-105-41-007000 is a 2-position header-style rectangular connector with pogo pin receptacles. It is a 0.04" pitch connector, allowing for 2A current / 0.2 Amp voltage, and has a UL-rated insulator material for protection against shocks and potential short circuits. The contact pin material includes useful features, such as gold plating for increased performance and corrosion prevention. The pin receptacles are designed to create a secure connection, designed to prevent any accidental disengagements.

Working Principle

Part No. 316-91-105-41-007000 is a header-style connector, meaning that the contacts are arranged in a series of pins of the same size. Each of these pins has a small spring-like metal component, known as a ‘pogo pin’, at its base. When the two halves of the connector are mated, the pogo pin is compressed and forces the spring apart from its neighbours. This creates an electrical connection between the two halves, thereby allowing for the transfer of power and data from one side of the connector to the other.

The use of larger pogo pins can ensure a secure connection, even in environments where there is a lot of vibration or movement. The smaller pogo pins are designed to absorb any slack that may be present in the connection to make sure that power and data transfer is uninterrupted.

Conclusion

Part No. 316-91-105-41-007000 is a versatile rectangular connector, applicable in a host of commercial and industrial applications. With its header-style design and secure pin receptacles, it can provide an easy and secure way to transfer power and data from one system to another. This makes it a great asset in any electrical system.
