Introduction to Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular connectors, also known as headers, male pins, headers and sockets, are an important component of wiring systems used for joining electrical components. This type of connector is used extensively in the applicator, communication, navigation, electronic and other electronics fields.

Types of Rectangular Connectors

There are two main types of rectangular connectors. The most common type is known as the "Male Pin," which has an exposed metal tip that is inserted into a recessed portion of a socket. The other type of connector is known as the "Header," which has a female end with a recessed portion that accepts the male end of a pin. In some cases, some rectangular connectors provide both male and female ends.

Application of Rectangular Connectors

Rectangular connectors are used in many different applications, from electrical wiring to data and signal transmission. The applications vary greatly, ranging from the automotive sector to medical and industrial. Rectangular connectors are often used in applications where signal integrity is of utmost importance, such as in telecommunications and military or aerospace applications. In the automotive industry, they are used to connect components in or on the automobile, such as the headlights and taillights.In the medical field, rectangular connectors are used in endoscopes and imaging equipment. In the industrial sector, they are used in robotics, automated assembly systems, and industrial machines. Rectangular connectors are also commonly used in power supplies and in circuit boards.

Working Principle of Rectangular Connectors

The working principle of a rectangular connector is simple. The male pin is inserted into the female socket. The pin is held in place by a spring-loaded mechanism that keeps it in place under normal circumstances. As the female socket is turned, the male pin is forced further into the socket, making a secure connection.The male pin also serves as an electrical connection, allowing electricity to flow through the pins and into the components. Depending on the type of connector, it may be used to transfer data, too. In most cases, the pins are connected to a copper trace so that they can transmit data in order to control various electronic devices.

Conclusion

Rectangular connectors are a fundamental component of wiring systems used for joining electrical components. These connectors come in two main types, the male pin and the header, and can be used in a wide variety of applications. The working principle of rectangular connectors is simple—male pins are inserted into female sockets and held in place by a spring-loaded mechanism. They are also used as electrical connections, enabling the electricity to flow through the pins and into the components. Rectangular connectors are an essential part of the electrical wiring systems in a variety of industries, and continue to be used due to their versatility and ease of use.
