Working Principle

87438-0433 rectangular connectors are distinguished by their two-piece design. This design consists of two parts: the header (with pins) and the socket (with receptacles). The contact pins on the header are inserted into the corresponding receptacles on the socket, creating a reliable electrical connection.

The header contains the pins, which are made of high conductivity materials such as copper, gold, or silver and are plated for enhanced corrosion protection. The socket contains inserts that precisely retain the pins and ensure maximum contact force. The Socket lid is then snapped shut into place, providing a secure fit and maximum protection for the connection.

87438-0433 rectangular connectors also feature a mechanical lock for safety purposes. This lock prevents the connector from accidentally being disconnected, potentially causing a system failure. The keyed feature on the socket ensures that the pins are properly aligned with the receptacles.

In conclusion, 87438-0433 rectangular connectors are designed to provide reliable electrical connections in a wide variety of industrial applications. They are available in a range of sizes and configurations, making them suitable for tight, space-constrained applications. The two-piece design allows for quick and easy installation, while the mechanical lock ensures secure connections.
