3433-1303

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

3433-1303 is an connector solution, which is comprised of open-ended, rectangular headers that connect with a mating plug with simple interfaces. It is most commonly used in consumer electronics and utilized in applications where space is an issue, since they are usually very thin and created specific for cable harness applications. In order to provide an efficient connection, this type of connector comes with an easy, visible way for connecting and disconnecting without damaging the components.

Application Field

The 3433-1303 is designed to provide an efficient connection in electronic devices used in industrial, medical, telecom and automotive applications. This type of connector is particularly designed for applications where severe shock, vibration and endurance to extreme environment are required. Besides, the open-ended rectangular headers allow for connections in narrow spaces, making them ideal for applications where solid cables with low signal density, such as power cables are required.

Working Principle

The 3433-1303 connector has a simple and intuitive connection mechanism. The male pins securely contact with the cables and securely make the electrical connections with the housing contacts. The headers and plugs are held together thanks to a friction force and without any particular tools for assembling. These connectors are released by pulling the plug out of the header, allowing an easy disconnection.

The internal structure of the connectors has contacts that are crimped on the wire and solder to the printed circuit board (PCB). By using a soldering process, the contacts securely maintains the connection between both surfaces. The fitted contacts have a female pin that when comes into contact with the male pin on the plug, makes the electrical connection. In addition, to ensure an efficient contact between the pins and the connector, some connectors also feature fixing pins that keep the plug in the header.

Conclusion

The 3433-1303 open-ended, rectangular headers serve as an ideal connection solution in applications where space and proper connection between components is essential. The headers and plugs offer secure connection, easy install and release process, all without damaging the connections. Thanks to its versatile solution, the 3433-1303 can work in several applications and allows for efficient transmission of data and power from one component to another.
