Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The 804-V3-063-10-193101 connectors, also known as male pin headers, are rectangular electrical connectors that are usually used to connect circuit boards and other types of electrical components. These connectors allow for easy assembly of electrical boards and components, by pinpointing the exact location of each connection. This type of connection also provides for flexible and versatile connection options, as the components can easily be rearranged in order to suit the needs of the application.

Applications

Male pin headers are quite versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, such as computer networking, automobile and satellite accessories, and home audio speakers. The connectors come in a variety of shapes, sizes and contact configurations, to suit the needs of the application. In some cases, the male pin headers can also be used as a substitute for wire-to-board connections. Male pin headers are also becoming increasingly popular for electrical and mechanical applications, due to their simple and reliable way of connecting components. Some of the most common applications where these connectors are used include consumer electronics, medical devices, and automotive assemblies.

Working Principle

The 804-V3-063-10-193101 male pin headers consist of two parts; the Male Headers (or pins) and the Female Sockets (or receptacles). The male pins are the conducting elements, while the female sockets provide an insulated electrical contact. In order for the connection to work, a sleeve or designated metal contact clip (or tail) is inserted into the female socket. This helps to ensure a secure connection and that a maintainable electrical contact is made. When the two components are properly parallel-mated, the contact clip is drawn down, making contact with the male pins. This establishes an electrical connection between the two components and the current flows from the pin to the socket. The “tail” on the contact clip ensures that the components remain mating even when the male pins are pulled away from the female sockets. The 804-V3-063-10-193101 male pin headers are reliable and easy to assemble; they require minimal maintenance and can withstand harsh working environments. With their simple and efficient design, these connectors are ideal for a variety of applications.
