Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Male Pins are one kind of electrical connectors used to join wires or electrical components within an electrical circuit. Generally, the shapes of rectangular connectors can be divided into two kinds – headers and male pins. They are referred to by an order number, for example 800-10-023-20-001000, and possess distinct characteristics in terms of application field, pin layout, and working principle.

Application Field

Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Male Pins play an essential role in many electrical circuits, adding stability to the circuit, protecting against wear and tear, and ensuring safety in the end product. Applications include:

• Cellular devices, including smartphones, tablets and laptops.
• Automotive and marine applications.
• Home and industrial electronics.
• Security and communication systems.
• Medical, robotic and process control systems.
• Home landscape lighting solutions.
• Lighting or dimming control.

Pin Layout

When referring to the rectangular connectors – headers, male pins, a pin layout on the socket, plug or form factor that connects a connecting device should be considered as it will influence the stability and convenience of the connection. Generally, the pin layout depends on a combination of row number and pitch, for example, 2*50 mm pitches and 4 rows. In most cases, the pin layout can be customized, while different formats like single row, double row, and multiple rows are available. The number of pins can be freely chosen, and pitch can be defined in the range of 2.54 mm to 50 mm.

Working Principle

The Application Field of rectangular connectors is wide, and the working principles are also multiple. Below are some typical applications.

1. Power Control: Resistance Voltage Divide Circuits.
2. Signal Processing: Serial/Parallel Circuits, Inverting Circuits etc.
3. Data input/output: USB, RS232, Ethernet, 3.3V/5V Communication Circuits.

Their functions depend on the combination of these two kinds of components. For example, in mobile phones, the frequently used rectangular connectors include single-row connectors, double-row connectors, and plug-in connectors.

Modern rectangular connectors offer convenience and stability of connection, and the built-in locks help to prevent mismatches or accidental operation. Depending on its application field and pin layout, the working principle of the connector will also differ. Therefore, it’s important to consider the application field and pin layout when selecting or designing the connector.
