Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 87264-3650 is a rectangular connector commonly used in a variety of applications, and is an example of the wide range of connectors available in the market today; from the very small Molex connectors, to high power connectors designed for onboard computer usage.

Headers are generally used as the main elements of a connection, or simply as a way to connect two components. Headers have a rectangular shape and are used to connect two parts together, either in a backplane arrangement or directly on the final board in a single-sided board or two-sided board. Typically, the header is placed on either side of the board. They are mostly used to interconnect and electrically isolate the components from each other, and are sometimes referred to as "building block" systems.

Receptacles are generally placed on the opposite side of the board, or on the edge connector, and generally accept the header connect. The receptacle’s purpose is to provide an electrical connection to the board and be able to accept any connection that is plugged into it. Receptacles come in different styles and configurations, depending on the design of the device.

Female sockets is another form of a rectangular connector. In this case, the connector has a specific shape and size that can be adapted to fit a variety of applications. Female sockets are plugs that are then inserted into the receptacle. They can be used for a variety of applications such as connecting cables, making audio and video connections, and interfacing with a variety of components.
