3210-16-003-12-00 Application Field and Working Principle

Overview

Rectangular connectors—headers, male pins—are designed to be used in a wide range of device and harness assembly applications. In comparison to other connector types such as circular connectors and terminals, rectangular connectors are highly reliable and have been widely adopted due to their excellent mechanical strength and low cost. In addition, the 3210-16-003-12-00 series rectangular connectors provide a larger number of contact positions than normal rectangular connectors, such that they can transmit large amounts of data while providing reliable contact and strength. This document will explain the application field and working principle of the 3210-16-003-12-00 rectangular connectors.

Application Field

In general, rectangular connectors—headers, male pins—are highly suitable for use in a wide variety of applications. They are commonly used in consumer electronics and industrial applications to provide a reliable connection between devices or harnesses, including automotive, entertainment, marine, medical, test and measurement, and telecommunications applications. In particular, 3210-16-003-12-00 rectangular connectors are often used in applications where large amounts of data are required to be transmitted while providing reliable contact and strength, such as semi-permanent wiring and signal management.

Working Principle

Rectangular connectors—headers, male pins—are used to connect wires or cables to electronic devices and form an electrical connection between two points. The working principle of these connectors involves the insertion of the metal pins, which are usually made of either tin-plated copper, silver, or aluminum into the contact troughs of the connector body. This is followed by a physical and an electrical contact between the pins and the female connector. In the case of large numbers of pins such as those in 3210-16-003-12-00 rectangular connectors, the contact troughs are divided into two separate levels.

Once the connection has been established, electrical signals are transmitted between the two connecting points. The signals travel through the pins of the male connector, and when the signal reaches the contact troughs in the female connector, it is passed through the contact points to the intended device or harness. The current flow is then either provided to the device or sent back to the male connector where it is dissipated into the ground.

Conclusion

The 3210-16-003-12-00 rectangular connectors are designed to provide reliable contact and connection strength for applications requiring the transmission of large volumes of data. The application field and working principle of these connectors involve the insertion of the metal pins into the contact troughs of the connector, which is followed by the establishment of a physical and electrical contact between the pins and the female connector. Once the connection is established, the signals are transmitted between the two points, providing data transfer across the systems.
