Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are typically used in single row applications for signal, power or data transfer. The industry term for these items contains the opening width x number of pins - 802-40-044-10-004000 being an example of 40 pins in an 8.0mm wide package.

These connectors have a wide range of application fields within various industries. The automotive industry, in particular, utilize these Male Pins as connectors and sensors for engine control and communication circuitry, as well as fuel injection. Additionally, industrial control and automation industry use such connectors for electrical isolation, specifically in harsh environments.

802-40-044-10-004000 consists of a plastic pin header block and a receptacle housing (female counterpart). The pin header block houses the circuit connections (pins) which are located on the outside of the connector. The pins are in a straight line order, which makes cable connection more easily and preferably. The receptacle housing is a plastic housing which encases the pins.

Working principle: When the header block and the receptacle housing are connected, the pins on the header block fit into the groves provided in the receptacle housing. This connection impact creates tension between the pins and the receptacle housing. The tension ensures that the connection stays put and is secure and safe.

The tension also prevents the connection from being easily detached. As noise reduction is one of the main concerns for such connections, the header contact on the receptacle housing makes a gas-tight load up to prevent any interferences produced by outside sources. The receptacle housings are also provided with locks to ensure that the connection remains secure even when vibrations occur.

To ensure further protection for the connector, it can be further equipped with epoxy to prevent and ensure protection against damages caused by dust and liquids. This type of contact is not only cost-efficient but it also provides the much desired combination of reliability and sturdiness that is required in such applications.

802-40-044-10-004000 Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins have a strong application field and working principle and have been widely used in many industries. Their ability to provide reliable connections and a strong connection in harsh environments, as well as the ability to provide further protection with epoxy, ensure that these connectors are a strong choice for any application.
