Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, 86453-506 Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are an integral part of many electronic circuits, providing dependable connections for power and signals in the majority of industrial, commercial, medical, and military applications. The 86453-506 is a popular variant of rectangular connectors, and its application and working principle can be broken down into three parts: the type, the connection type, and the essential features.

Type

The 86453-506 is a type of rectangular connector. This type, also sometimes called “dual inline”, comes with two rows of connection points arranged in a straight line parallel to the length of the connector. The most widely used rectangular connectors are the ribbon-style connectors, with each row consisting of two parallel slots or rows of short pins. The 86453-506 variant of this popular connector type features two rows of pins in a straight line, each separated by an electrical insulation. The insulation can be in the form of a plastic or a ceramic material.

Connection Type

The 86453-506 is a male pin connector. This means that the pins are mounted rigidly on the connector body. This design allows the pins to make rigid mechanical connections, reducing the risk of a connection failure or faulty signals. Male pins can be used to connect to other components on the same PCB, or even to internal components within the same package. In some cases, they can be used to connect to external components, though insulation and stress relief may be necessary.

Essential Features

The 86453-506 possesses several essential features that make it a popular option for many applications. First, it supports up to 36 connections, making it suitable for a variety of medium to large applications. Second, the connections are rated to spring forces of up to 50. This ensures that the pins will remain secure in their positions even when subject to the stresses of vibration and shock. Finally, the connector is resistant to high temperatures, making it a good option for applications in harsh or extreme environments.

The 86453-506 is a reliable, durable, and efficient rectangular connector, providing the connections required for many applications. Using two rows of male pins arranged in a straight line, it is able to provide a secure connection to a variety of components while still allowing for easy accessibility and maneuverability. With a high temperature rating and the ability to support up to 36 connections, the 86453-506 is an ideal choice for a wide range of electronic circuits.
