Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 833-83-016-10-287101 part number identifies a type of rectangular connector part, consisting of headers, receptacles, and female sockets, for use in electronic circuits. This type of electrical connector is used to interconnect and electrically couple components, such as printed circuit boards, electrical instruments, and other electrical components. By creating a physical connection between two or more electronic components, it provides an electrical path for power and signals while allowing for quick, easy and reliable connections.

Applications

The 833-83-016-10-287101 rectangular connector assembly is widely used in automotive, medical and consumer applications. Automotive applications include airbag systems, ABS brakes, vehicle safety systems, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). In medical applications, the connectors are often found in diagnostic equipment, medical imaging systems, and patient monitoring systems. This type of connector is also a common choice for consumer electronics, for example audio and video equipment, home appliances, and gaming systems.

Design and Working Principle

The 833-83-016-10-287101 rectangular connector parts are designed with a two-piece housing system and two parallel rows of sockets or contacts. The top piece is referred to as the header, while the bottom piece is the receptacle or female socket. The sockets in the header are arranged in two rows, while the matching sockets in the receptacle are arranged in two rows that are offset from the header. This unique design allows the user to simultaneously mate the parts without having to move them into a specific position.

Once the header and receptacle are mated, the electrical contacts in the two parts are physically connected and electrically coupled. The connection between the contacts is often secured with screws, bolts, or latches, or by using an optional fastening system such as a locking tab. The pins in the header are protected from wear and tear by the surrounding insulating materials, while the receptacle contacts are protected by a metal frame or support. The 833-83-016-10-287101 rectangular connector parts are designed to meet the UL safety requirements and are tested for secure socket connections.

Conclusion

The 833-83-016-10-287101 rectangular connector assembly is suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive and medical to consumer electronics. Its unique two-piece housing, two parallel rows of sockets, and secure fastening systems make it an ideal choice for quick and reliable connections. The electrical contacts are protected by insulating materials and metal frames, and the parts meet UL safety requirements.
