Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets and the 76054-014LF application field and working principle.

Within the many differing electronics industries, the use of rectangular connectors are essential to many different component assemblies. Most commonly used in aviation, computer, telecommunications, medical, automotive and audio, rectangular connectors are a necessity as they enable power and signal transmission within electrical systems. They can take many different forms, usually consisting of a body, an interface and contact pins or blades, and are commonly categorised as male connector types or female connectors types.

First off, a ‘header’. This is the part of the connector family that leads the way and receives the signal from an associated interface. The signal is introduced here and enters the system, and the header itself is constructed of a male ‘pin’ type or ‘blade’ type contact. Headers typically are found in interconnect systems with a lower voltage electrical rating such as telecoms and consumer equipment. Usually, these headers are of a PCB mountable type and are found in 2,3,4,6,7,8,10,12,14,16,20 and 25-way varieties.

The exact counterpart to the header is the ‘receptacle’. Produced as a female-type connection, the receptacle is used as the signal ‘exit’ point in the interconnect system. Receptacles have a much higher electrical rating than headers, allowing them to be used in a higher power environment without compromising signal integrity. This makes them viable for applications involving computers, telecoms, industrial and automotive electronics.

It is also worth mentioning the Female Socket, or ‘Hood’ as they are also known. This acts as a connector which receives its signal from the header, and then passes it onto the associated component. Housed in a myriad of plastic enclosure styles, these connectors are used when extra protection from the elements is required. Similarly, the hood also has a female type connection, with pin type contacts.

The 76054-014LF connector is a typical header receptacle pair, which consists of a 2, 3 and 4 way variety. These are generally used in communication systems, and are characterised by an insulator body with 6.5mm pitch spacing and a single row with a right angle contact type. The basic mode of operation is a simple ‘plug and socket’ type connection, with mating contact pins in the header mating into female pins in the receptacle. Normally, the signal enters the header pins and is then routed onto the receptacle pins, allowing it to be transmitted elsewhere.

The 76054-014LF is compatible with the industry standard sizes of 2mm and 5.08mm connection headers, giving it a wide permutation of signal reception and transmission capability. This is why it is a popular choice in the production of many different boards, cables, jacks and accessories and can be used in a variety of communication systems. It can also be used to achieve transmittance of low-power data and control signals, making it an invaluable asset to any communication system.

In conclusion, the use of rectangular connectors is very beneficial in the electronics industry, as they provide a safe, secure and even bulk method of signal transmission. This is why the 76054-014LF connector is so widely used, it provides reliable, high quality connections for many different types of equipment. By making use of the header, receptacle and socket arrangement, these connectors can be used to support a large variety of applications, and is therefore essential to many different electronic systems and industries.
