Rectangular connectors are used in a wide variety of electronics and industrial applications. The mechanics of a rectangular connector are similar to a round electrical connector, with two components, a header and a receptacle. These components must fit together in order to form a connection. Most rectangular connectors use pins, designed to provide greater contact strength than round connectors. The pins are recessed into a plastic body, so the header and receptacle mate together along their outer perimeter.

The part number 317-87-121-41-022101 is a type of rectangular connector header, which is employed to mount on a printed circuit board. It has a total of 41 pins, split across five rows of 8 pins, with one additional pin remaining. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, such as consumer electronics, computer networks, industrial automation, audio-visual equipment, and many other areas.

Each pin is shaped like a cross, allowing it to securely lock into place inside the female socket. The pins are also angled slightly, so that when the header and socket are mated together, the pins interlock for improved stability and mechanical strength. This helps ensure the connection remains secure and unaffected by electrical interference. The connector is also designed with a degree of immersion protection, which means it is rated to withstand a certain amount of liquid or moisture.

The working principle of a rectangular connector is based on electrical connections. In order for the pins to efficiently carry an electrical current, they must establish a continuous connection between the electrical components. This is done by pushing the male pins of the header into the female socket, creating a metal-to-metal contact. The pins ensure that the electrical current can pass through without any breaks or gaps, thereby maintaining a reliable connection.

Rectangular connectors are highly reliable and versatile, making them suitable for a variety of different electronics and industrial applications. The part number 317-87-121-41-022101 is a type of header designed to fit into a female socket, providing an efficient and secure connection. The 41 pins are arranged in five rows, ensuring a strong interface between the electrical components and the pins. This provides increased contact strength while also allowing for immersion protection. The working principle of this rectangular connector relies on metal-to-metal contact, allowing the pins to securely hold the electrical current.
