A Rectangular Connector - Header, Male Pins, is an electrical connector that is usually used in a variety of applications. It is often referred to as a “male” electrical connector due to the fact that the pins extend out the back of the connector. The pins can then be inserted into corresponding female receptacles (or female pins) on a mating piece of electronic equipment. As indicated in our part number, 800-80-059-20-004101, the pins are traditionally rectangular in shape, though various other shapes are available in very specialized applications.

There are essentially three components of Rectangular Connectors - Header, Male Pins; the body, the pins, and the locking mechanism. The body of the connector serves as the general support structure for the pins, as well as the electrical contact points. It will typically feature some form of ribbing on the outside to provide grip for mating and unmating, and “lips” that serve to brace the connector in place when installed. The pins are made of spring steel and are housed within the body of the connector. They will typically be inserted into a receptacle and remain in contact with the mating device when the body of the connector is engaged. Finally, some form of latching mechanism is usually used to physically lock the body and, by extension, the pins in place. This is especially common in high-vibration applications, such as automotive engine control systems, since it prevents the connector and its components from becoming loose due to vibration.

Rectangular Connectors - Header, Male Pins are used for a variety of applications, depending on the size and configuration of the connector. The part number used (800-80-059-20-004101) represents a simple two-row, three-pin arrangement, oftentimes used for low-voltage, low-current applications. The most common application for this particular type of connector is in signaling and control applications, such as telecom signaling and LED lighting systems. However, it can also be used in automotive and medical applications depending on the configurations selected.

Aside from the two-row, three-pin configuration, there are numerous other configurations available when it comes to Rectangular Connectors - Header, Male Pins. These configurations can range from a simple one-pin arrangement, to large multi-row configurations with up to hundreds of pins. Thus, when designing a system where a high-density connection is needed, the use of a multi-row configuration is recommended. Additionally, many varieties of the rectangular connector also feature an optional interconnection mechanism, such as a board-to-board connector.

The working principle of the Rectangular Connectors - Header, Male Pins is relatively simple. Upon insertion of the connector body and pins into a receptacle, the pins make contact with the corresponding pins of the mating device. By ensure that there is a secure connection to the receptacle, the connection is established and the informational and electrical signal can pass through. Additionally, the inclusion of the latching mechanism adds an additional layer of security, since it physically locks the body of the connector and pins in place, preventing them from becoming loose due to vibration.

From its relatively small size and low cost, to its wide range of applications and easy interconnection, the Rectangular Connector - Header, Male Pins offers engineers a great solution for both cost and time savings. In addition to its versatility, it is also highly customizable in terms of size, current ratings, and contact arrangements, allowing it to fit into just about any design or scalability requirement. All in all, the 800-80-059-20-004101 is a great all-around solution for many types of low-voltage, low-current applications.
