Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

A rectangular connector has two different components, a header (male) and a receptacle (female). Headers, also known as male pins, are generally pinned and/or soldered in an electronic circuit, and are designed to mate with a receptacle or socket. The pins are most often spaced in a standard pitch, ranging from 2mm to 11mm. Headers are extremely versatile and are used in a variety of applications.

800-10-017-40-001101 Application Field and Working Principle

The 800-10-017-40-001101 is a header with a standard 10mm pitch. It is designed for high-density wiring needs, and is a 4-pin configuration that is capable of carrying high current signals with minimal signal loss. This device is rated for up to 1A/contact, and is suitable for use in applications requiring high-frequency signal speeds up to 10 Mbps. It can also be used for power connections, as its 4-mm connector profile allows for more efficient thermal dissipation when compared to typical surface mount technology.

When mated with a complimentary receptacle, the 800-10-017-40-001101 header provides a secure connection in a wide range of operating and environmental conditions. Its fully isolated design provides excellent electrical performance, and its low profile ensures a more reliable electrical engagement with the mating receptacle. Its gold-plated contacts prevent corrosion and provide improved signal quality.

The 800-10-017-40-001101 is particularly suited for applications in consumer electronics, including cell phones, handheld computers, personal computer peripherals, and automotive electronics. The header may also be used in a myriad of other applications, such as medical, industrial control, and networking.

Conclusion

The 800-10-017-40-001101 is a 10-mm pitch header that provides high-density wiring and reliable performance in a wide range of conditions. Its 4-pin configuration and 1A/contact rating make it suitable for high-frequency signal speeds up to 10 Mbps, and its low profile allows for more efficient thermal dissipation when used for power connections. It is most suitable for consumer electronics, but can be used in many other applications, such as medical, industrial control, and networking.
