Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins:

800-40-035-10-002000 application field and working principle

Rectangular connectors with headers, male pins are electrical connectors used for connecting and disconnecting circuits or electrical components, primarily at the junctions between wiring and the printed circuit board (PCB). They come in various shapes and sizes, from the smallest one being a 2-pole to large ones with multiple connectors on one board.

Applications:

Rectangular connectors with headers, male pins are widely used in a variety of electronic equipment and applications. They are commonly used to provide electrical connectivity between components, and are typically found in PCB-related electronics including audio and video systems, computers, cell phones, telephones, home appliances, and automated equipment.

Working Principle:

The design of the rectangular connector consists of a plug and jack. A plug is the part that is inserted into the socket (or jack) to complete the connection of circuits. Generally, it has a terminal strip with several contacts with the corresponding mating surface for the connection. The contact of the plug is coupled with the contact of the jack, allowing electrical current to flow when properly and properly configured. Then, when the connection is broken, the contact of the plug and the contact of the jack disconnect and current stops flowing. The plug and the jack of a rectangular connector are usually designed to be linked and disconnected many times without damage.
