6-292172-3

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins can be applied to many different industrial fields, such as telecom, aerospace, instrumentation, consumer electronics, and automotive. The 6-292172-3 is one of the most commonly used rectangular connectors. It consists of two parts, the male pins and a header.

The male pins are installed in the mating side of a printed circuit board (PCB), typically with surface mount technology (SMT). The pins provide electrical connections between the PCB and the socket contacts. The pins are made of copper plated with gold, tin, or silver, which ensures good electrical conductivity and contact reliability. The pins are arranged in a row with a pattern that is usually standardized, and the pitch of the pins can vary from type to type.

The header is the socket side of the connector, and it consists of an insulation body, metallic contacts, and terminals that secure the connector to the PCB. The header is usually made of plastic materials such as PBT, PA, PPO, PPS, and etc., which provide insulation and protection to the connections. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze or beryllium copper, which is galvanized with gold, tin, or silver plating, offering good electrical performance and contact reliability.

The working principle of the 6-292172-3 is relatively simple. When a mating connector is connected to the pins, the electrical signals flow from pins to the contacts in the header, allowing the electronic devices to communicate with each other. The terminals in the header secure the connector to the PCB and make sure the electrical connections are stable.

The 6-292172-3 rectangular connectors provide reliable, high-performance connections between electronic devices and PCBs. Its high-quality materials and robust construction ensure reliable and safe connections even in harsh industrial environment. With its wide range of applications in many different industrial fields, the 6-292172-3 is an essential and reliable solution to interconnect electronic devices.
