Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Specialty Pin: Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are versatile units used in countless electrical applications. Usually known as headers or specialty pin connectors, they’re designed to hold and connect electrical components in a wide range of applications. Although there are various types of headers available, the most popular are the rectangular type. Specifically, model 342-10-154-00-591000 is an example of one of the most prevalently used rectangular headers.

Application Field

Rectangular connectors are extensively used in numerous different applications and industries. Automotive, medical, industrial, telecommunications, military and aerospace are some of the industries where these connectors are typically installed to build and make electrical connections. Specific to model 342-10-154-00-591000, it’s an appropriate choice for universal use in a variety of applications, and has also been especially designed for harsh environments in the automotive industry and for use in military applications.

Working Principle

Headers are connector plugs which are designed in a variety of layouts, and have signal pins or sockets arranged at specific intervals for efficient operation. With the 342-10-154-00-591000 header, the connection is established via contact between two surfaces, each containing pins or sockets. This type of connection is called a press-fit, and once the two surfaces are connected, an electrical circuit is created. The size of these connectors determines their power rating and voltage resistance. Furthermore, the contact’s activation results in a reliable and secure connection, providing the power and signals are correct. The specific model comes with a maximum current rating of 6A, and a dielectric strength of 500V.

Physical Characteristics

The 342-10-154-00-591000 rectangular connector is constructed with a 9-pin design which has a receptacle contact type with a variety of features including a black UL 94V-0 thermoplastic housing, gold-plated contacts and a 2.54mm (.1”) pitch. The total number of possible positions within the 9-pin design is 28 and the header is specifically designed for the soldering process. As for the features, the mounting style of the model is through hole, and it is designed to be used with a height of 6.58 mm (0.2589”). The envelope dimension is 14.70 x 4.20 x 6.90 mm (0.5779” x 0.1654” x 0.2716”).

Conclusion

Rectangular connectors are widely used in countless electrical applications. Designed to hold and connect electrical components, the specific model, 342-10-154-00-591000, has been specially constructed for a variety of uses including harsh environmental conditions in the automotive and military industries. Working on a principle of connection via two surfaces containing pins or sockets, it has a current rating of 6A and a dielectric strength of 500V. The model is best used for soldering applications and features a 9-pin design, with a variety of features including a black UL 94V-0 thermoplastic housing, gold-plated contacts and a 2.54mm (.1”) pitch.
