Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - 69167-115 Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors, made from a variety of materials and in different configurations, are used for a variety of applications. In the 69167-115 family of connectors, the 69167-115 rectangular headers, male pins, play an important role in connecting printed circuit boards (PCBs) through the mating of two or more connectors. This article explores the application field of 69167-115 rectangular connectors as well as the working principle of their male pins.

Application Field

The 69167-115 family of rectangular connectors’ female receptacles have a pin array of 15x2 positions. This means they are suitable for creating connection points between loads up to 15x2 pins. That being said, rectangular connectors are commonly used in a variety of electronic applications, ranging from computer motherboards and storage devices to LCD display gizmos. The 69167-115 connectors, being able to pack in a high density of pins in a small section of board, make them an especially worthwhile option for tight-space and lightweight devices.

As for the 69167-115 family of connectors’ male pins specifically, they are often seen in ball grid arrays (BGA) where the whole array of boreholes is populated by them. Because these pins have an extremely thin diameter, they can be inserted into the holes of the board. Such features make them the ideal pick for traditional desktop form-factor applications ranging from tablets to laptops, not to mention other consumer electronics such as mobile phones.

Working Principle

The 69167-115 male pins are made from copper alloy materials that have been machined to an incredibly precise diameter to ensure a precise fit with the plug. Moreover, the tips of these pins are often tin-plated to prevent corrosion. According to Machinery Drafting and Design, pins used in a rectangular connector like the 69167-115 family have an extremely small diameter (~0.92mm). Each pin is then inserted into its respective hole in the board, whose diameter exactly matches the pin’s one.

Once the connectors have been mated, a locking feature will allow them to securely click into place. This ensures that shocks and vibrations won’t dislodge them from their rightful place. Additionally, the mating force between both the plugs and the pins also plays a role in that respect, as it contributes to making the connection all the firmer.

Conclusion

Rectangular connectors are a necessary component in various electronic applications due to their high density of pins in a small profile. As part of the 69167-115 family, the male pins of the connectors have a tiny diameter that allows them to be inserted into a given board’s borehole. This mating process brings about an ideal connection due to the locking feature that prevents the connectors from being dislodged from their rightful place. With that in mind, the 69167-115 rectangular connectors - headers, male pins - are sure to further revolutionize the world of consumer electronics.
