Terminals – PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors

A PC-Pin receptacle, or socket connector, is a type of electrical connector included in the 380598-3 series. It consists of two or more pins that are pre-assembled into a molded plastic base. Socket connectors can be used in a variety of applications, including wire to board, board to board, and cable to board connections.

The 380598-3 series is particularly suited to PCB applications, such as the use of single-board computers or development platforms, due to its small footprint and low power requirements. The connectors come in a variety of sizes and shapes, allowing for flexibility in the design of the host device. Furthermore, they are widely available from multiple manufacturers, ensuring a competitive pricing and reliable availability.

When it comes to the working principles of a PC-Pin receptacle, they rely on the electrical fields generated between the pins to allow the flow of electrical current. Two types of connections can be made: solder contacts or press fit. Solder contacts are made by melting and applying solder in between the two contacts, and press fit is achieved by inserting a pin into a pinhole and pushing it into the receptacle.

Solder contacts are typically preferable, as they offer greater reliability and contact strength. For example, connectors used in industrial applications, such as directional control valves or relay switches, should always use solder contacts for proper and reliable connections. It is often recommended that a toroidal core inductor is used with the solder contacts, which increases the contact strength and reduces electromagnetic interference.

Press fitted connections are preferred in electronic applications with lighter loads, such as timer switches or small appliances. As the two pins are press fit together, the connection should be rigid and secure, while still allowing some movement in the case of an accidental disruption.

Connectors in the 380598-3 series have been designed for easy installation. The pins come pre-assembled in a molded base, so no drilling or wiring is necessary. Furthermore, as the connectors’ size and shape has been predetermined, there is no need to worry about compatibility between different components. All that is needed is a power source and the male and female plugs. This makes PC-Pin receptacles particularly suitable for projects or applications in which the user needs to be able to add and remove components quickly and easily.

PC-Pin receptacles are used in a variety of applications and industries, from small home electronics to industrial automation. Consumers may find them in alarm panels, gaming consoles, laptop power supplies, and more. Industries may utilize them in control panels, assembly line equipment, and automated machines. Whatever the application, the 380598-3 series offers a reliable and easy-to-use connection.
