Rectangular connectors are the ones most frequently used in the world of electronics. They are named after the way their contacts plug into receptacle or header connectors. In this article, we will cover the application fields and working principles of rectangular connectors - headers, receptacles, and female sockets such as those in part number 414-41-220-41-117000.

Application Fields

Rectangular connectors are widely used in various applications such as in consumer electronics, military and aerospace markets, industrial automation, telecommunications, computers, medical equipment, test and measurement equipment and many others. They are ubiquitous because of their ability to easily connect circuits and device components without soldering. This is why they are a popular choice in high-density circuits where multiple components need to be connected/disconnected frequently. These connectors often come as shielded and unshielded designs to provide adequate protection against noise and EMI. They also feature a wide variety of contact types such as solder, crimp, and PC board contacts.

Besides the standard applications mentioned above, rectangular connectors are also utilized in oddball applications such as powering GoPro cameras and stopping zombies in the ever-popular zombie shooter video games, an example of which would be the Call of Duty franchise.

Working Principle

The working principle of rectangular connectors such as the 414-41-220-41-117000 is relatively simple. Essentially, the connector has two parts - a header and a receptacle (also known as a socket). The header is the part that carries the contacts which connect to the receptacle. The contacts on the header are spring-loaded so that when the two pieces are connected, the contacts on the header make a secure electrical connection with the receptacle. If power is being transmitted, the plug and socket create a circuit, and the power is delivered to the other components connected to the circuit.

Rectangular connectors are usually designed to be mated and unmated multiple times, which makes them great for temporary connections or prototyping. This type of connector is very versatile and can be used with either discrete wire or flat cables.

Conclusion

Rectangular connectors such as the 414-41-220-41-117000 are incredibly useful components in the world of electronics. They are used everywhere from computers and medical equipment to zombie shooters, proving their use and versatility. It is important to understand the application fields and working principle of these connectors in order to be able to leverage them properly. As a result, it is highly recommended that designers and engineers become familiar with rectangular connectors when designing electronics projects and components.
