Rectangular Connectors, such as Headers, Receptacles, and Female Sockets, are a type of electrical connector used in a wide range of applications. Generally speaking, rectangular connectors differ from round connectors in that they are generally more compact, offer greater repeatability in mating and un-mating, and offer increased bandwidth and current carrying capacity. 

The type of rectangular connector commonly referred to as a 317-87-129-41-022101 is a type known as a header or receptacle. It is a two-piece interconnect system designed to link together two different circuits or circuits with different power a voltage levels. It consists of a female socket, often referred to as a receptacle, and a male header and can be used in both vertical and horizontal orientation. The pin header and receptacle are generally made of high-temperature resistant, durable plastics with conductive elements in the form of metallic pins on the male side and female contact elements on the female contact. The female contact elements are mechanically and electrically attached to the receptacle. Males pins on the header typically have a positive lock mechanism for secure attachment. The pins are also usually gold-plated to ensure better connectivity and enable a more reliable connection over time.

The 317-87-129-41-022101 rectangular connector is most commonly used in the automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial automation industries, as well as in other industries where small power and data connections need to be made reliably. Examples of typical applications are in electric and hybrid vehicles, communications infrastructure, medical devices, consumer electronics such as smartphones and tablets, and process control systems, among many others.

The working principle of the 317-87-129-41-022101 rectangular connector is relatively simple. When two connectors are coupled together, the male pins and female contacts come into contact and make an electrical connection. The pins are designed so that the male and female connectors are also mechanically secured, making it difficult to disconnect the two connectors accidentally. The pins are also angled so that once the two connectors are properly mated, they create a seal that prevents moisture and dust from entering and damaging the connection. Additionally, because the contacts are gold-plated, oxidation is prevented, ensuring a more reliable electrical connection over time.

In summary, the 317-87-129-41-022101 rectangular connector, consisting of a header and a female socket, is one of the most commonly used electrical connectors for a variety of different applications. Its two-piece design makes it easy to use and its gold-plated contacts guarantee a long-lasting, reliable electrical connection.
