Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

435-90-238-00-16000 is an category of rectangular connectors that are designed to join two boards, cables, or other components together. Headers are often used as a part of a socket which can be removed and used elsewhere. The outershell of the connector is typically made out of plastic, which helps protect the contacts from environmental elements. The contacts are either gold plated or silver plated depending on the application and the application field where the connector will be used.

Headers are generally designed for easy installation and removal as necessary. This type of connector typically functions by having two header assemblies connected together via two rows of insulation-displacement contacts (IDCs). Often times, the contact on a header is relatively weak and a cover is used to help secure the connection while protecting the contacts from environmental elements. This type of connection provides superior electrical performance and is commonly used in high-speed digital applications.

The 435-90-238-00-16000 can be used in both the industrial and consumer markets. It has a relatively wide range of applications, including telecommunications, data communications, sound or audio, computer peripherals, instrumentation, and medical technologies. The male pin connections are often found in high-frequency applications that require signal integrity and maximum electrical performance.

The 435-90-238-00-16000 has a few specific working principles. The insulation-displacement contacts in the IDC are designed to cut through the insulation on the wires, making contact with the underlying conductor. The contact is then secured with a cover to ensure a consistent connection. As the two header assemblies are mated together, a combination bar is used to ensure the contacts line up, and the pins are secured with clips for added assurance. The current is then routed through the connectors, creating the connection.

The 435-90-238-00-16000 is a reliable and sturdy rectangular connector that is designed to provide secure yet flexible connections between boards, cables, and components. The insulation-displacement contacts within the IDC help ensure a secure electrical connection while the covers ensure both protection and a secure fit. It is a great connector to use in any application where signal integrity and maximum electrical performance is required.
