Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

647581-3 connectors are small, rectangular connectors with a header and male pins used for making connections electronically. They are especially well-suited for creating discrete connections, especially in tight spaces, since they occupy a very small footprint when compared with other more traditional connectors. As a result, they are commonly used in settings where portability and flexibility are key, such as in demo boards and even present in laptops and cell phone chargers.

Application Field

647581-3 Headers Male Pins connectors are widely used in applications involving communications and computing coupled with higher requiring electrical interfaces. Such applications include medical devices, route communication equipment, electric motor, automotive industry, electric bicycle controller, devices, uninterruptible power supplies, consumer electronics, computers, and mobile phones.

Working Principle

647581-3 Male Pins connectors offer electrical connectivity in the most efficient way. The male pins, typically inserted into female connectors, come in different configurations depending on the number of pins and their different orientations. The metal pins inside the connector create a reliable electrical contact between the mating connectors. This connection needs to be durable maintaining its electrical characteristics over long periods of time and offering resistance to mechanical and environmental stresses.

The connection between the connectors can be completed through soldering or through a press-fit connection (also known as an IDC connection, where specially designed insulation displacement contacts are pushed against conductors in the wire).

Moreover, they also feature an integrated locking mechanism that ensures the connection is secure and stable over time. It is then clear that these particular connectors prove to be a reliable and secure long-term solution for a large variety of applications.
