Rectangular connectors are a type of electronic connector that is used in electrical systems to join two or more devices quickly and easily. There are two main types of rectangular connectors in the 3431-5605 range: headers and male pins. This article will look at the application field and working principle for these two types of connectors.

Headers: Headers are used mainly to connect circuit boards together. They are usually used in bigger systems where multiple boards are needed and need to be connected. The main application of headers is in industrial control devices, such as PLCs (programmable logic controllers). These connectors are designed to be used with a female counterpart – a female header, which couples with the male header to securely connect two boards. A header usually has several contacts – pins that make contact with the female header, providing an electrical connection. The application of headers also extends to audio and video systems, where it is used to transfer signals from one board or component to another.

Male Pins: The second type of rectangular connector in the 3431-5605 range is the male pin connector. These connectors are mainly used for connecting wires for power and signal circuits, and not for connecting circuit boards. Male pins have one or more pins that make contact with the female counterpart. They are usually used in applications where the two devices needing connection are already pre-wired, such as lights, alarms, etc. In some cases, a male pin may also have a locking mechanism, which secures the connection. The application of male pins is wide – covering main control systems, power supplies, and many consumer products.

Working Principle: The working principle of rectangular connectors is simple. The header or male pin connector is inserted into the other connector. On the header, there are several pins arranged in a specific manner that make contact with the pins in the female header, providing an electrical connection. On a male pin, there is usually a single pin that makes contact with the female counterpart. The contact is secured by a locking mechanism, if the connector has one. A common locking mechanism is a snap-lock mechanism – the male pin is gently pressed into the female socket until a “click” is heard, indicating that the connection has been made securely.

The 3431-5605 range of rectangular connectors offers a wide range of solutions for connecting two or more electrical components. Both headers and male pins offer different solutions for different situations, and provide a secure and reliable connection. Furthermore, their simple working principle makes them easy to use and the snap-lock mechanism ensures that the connection is secure and reliable.
