3440-6002

Rectangular connectors are the most common type of electrical connector in use today. The connectors are used to connect vital components in most electronic systems for signal transfer and energy flow.

3440-6002 style rectangular connectors are commonly referred to as “headers.” They are a type of electrical connector that consists of a plug with two or more parallel metal pins and a receptacle with two or more parallel metal female contacts. These connectors are especially compatible with printed circuit boards (PCBs), and they offer great convenience and flexibility for design engineers.

The 3440-6002 style header is designed to provide a reliable connection between a printed circuit board (PCB) and a cable or other circuit board. They have an extremely low standoff height of just .250 inches or 6.35 mm and feature two rows of pins with a row spacing of 2.54mm. This ensures a consistent contact between the pins and the board.

The male pins of the 3440-6002 style header are typically made of brass or stainless steel and have a diameter of .063 inches or 1.60 mm. The receptacle of the connector is also typically made of brass or stainless steel and has a diameter of .062 inches or 1.57 mm. The pins and receptacle are precision-machined to ensure a secure connection and placement accuracy.

The working principle of the 3440-6002 style header is straightforward. The pins of the male header are inserted into the female receptacles and then locked into place by the built-in locking tab. This ensures a secure connection and prevents the pins from coming loose. This process is usually done manually but there are also automated systems available for more complex applications.

The 3440-6002 style header is a versatile connector that can be used in a wide variety of applications. They are commonly used in automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer electronics applications due to their robust construction and connection reliability.

The 3440-6002 style header is a reliable and versatile electrical connector, making it a popular choice for many applications. With an extremely low standoff height, this header provides a secure and reliable connection between a printed circuit board and cable or other circuit board.
