Rectangular Connectors, or headers, and male pins are two types of connectors that offer various benefits for numerous applications. The two types have different features and options depending on the specific need necessary for the application. In this article, we will explain the application field and working principle of Rectangular Connectors and male pins.

Rectangular Connectors - Headers

A rectangular connector, more commonly known as a header, is a type of electrical connector that is used to join two or more electrical components. It can either be a male or female connector and is made up of several pins arranged in rows or columns. Depending on the application, it can range from having just a few pins to many pins. Rectangular connectors are designed to be low cost, low profile, and easy to install.

Rectangular connectors are used in nearly all types of electronic equipment applications like computers, automotive, medical equipments, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. They are most commonly used to terminate wires, assemble cables and panels, and help with the function of the device or system that they are part of.

The working principle of a rectangular connector is fairly simple. When the device or system that it is part of is turned on, the pins on the connector make contact with the pins of the other device or system item in which it is connected to. This electrical connection results in the transfer of electricity that is necessary for the device or system to function properly. As a result, the device or system can operate as designed.

Male Pins

A male pin is another type of electrical connector, and they are mainly used in applications where a tight, secure seal is needed. Male pins have matching female slots that form a secure connection preventing loose connections. They are often used in automobiles, industrial applications, and electronics such as video/audio equipment.

Male pins come in different variations depending on the application for which they are used. Some of these variations include the ability to turn a base board into a connector, boards that connect to female sockets, boards that have four pins, or boards that have eight pins. The different pins sizes also vary depending on the application and the size required for the connection.

The working principle of male pins is similar to that of rectangular connectors. When the device or system that it is part of is turned on, the male pins make contact with the female pins of the other device or system item in which it is connected to. This electrical connection results in the transfer of electricity, allowing the device or system to function as designed.

In conclusion, Rectangular connectors are used across many different electronic applications, while male pins are mainly used for applications requiring a tight, secure seal. Both types of connectors are designed to provide an electrical connection that is necessary for the device or system to properly function.
