Rectangular connectors, also known as headers, receptacles, and female sockets, are essential parts in the majority of electrical assembly planning. They serve the purpose of creating a strong connection between two devices, increasing communication by transferring data between them. This can be a wide range of signals, such as telecommunications, audio, and digital 0 and 1s. As such, 416-87-256-41-006101 rectangular connectors, which are PHCCOO type headers with a pitch of 5.08 mm and 2 rows of 20 contacts, can be found in a variety of applciations: from electronics manufacturing, robotics, musical instruments, and industrial control systems all the way to aircraft and spacecraft.

In terms of their working principle, the 416-87-256-41-006101 rectangular connectors feature two rows of pins. To ensure a reliable and durable connection, these pins are intended to be inserted into their respective counterparts. When in use, the pins make an electrical connection thanks to the defined contact area provided by the mating connectors. This area is determined by the shape and size of the pin, which is designed to match the form of the connectors, eliminating accidental contact and reducing electrical noise. The connection is acomplished through electric conductors, which are located on the bottom side of the pins in assembly.

Furthermore, 416-87-256-41-006101 rectangular connectors feature terminals which are bent diagonally in order to allow full engagement of the pins. This process also helps create a connection that is generally corrosion and vibration resistant. The connectors are also typically designed to be stackable, meaning they provide a higher density of connections in a smaller area. This function ensures no overlap between signal and power contacts, improving the components’ heat dissipation, further improving the reliability of the connection. The top part of the terminals, which are known as polarizing features, also helps make sure the plugs are inserted with the correct orientation by fitting the mating housing.

Overall, 416-87-256-41-006101 rectangular connectors serve the purpose of ensuring a reliable connection between two devices. The pins located on the connectors engage with their respective counterparts. Once in place, a connection is established thanks to the electric conductors found on the bottom of the pins. The terminals on the connectors also resist vibration and corrosion, while polarizing features allow the correct orientation for a better connection. These features, along with the stackable design, make these headers ideal for applications such as electronics manufacturing, robotics, aerospace engineering, and industrial control systems.
