Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular connectors, often referred to as headers, are a type of passive electrical connector primarily used for connecting board-level components. The rectangular shape, in conjunction with the flat surface created by headers, helps create a stable connection between two different boards. Header pins, also referred to as male pins, are the corresponding attachment which, when inserted into the header, completes the connection between the boards. 894-70-084-10-001101 is a type of rectangular connector header and male pin.

Application Field

894-70-084-10-001101 headers are designed primarily for board-level interconnections in the telecommunications and audio/visual equipment industries. It is also used in the aerospace and defense industries, as well as other applications requiring high-integrity interconnections. Because of their stability, this type of header can form the basis for permanent connections, allowing electronics systems to withstand frequent vibration, shock, or other harsh environmental conditions.

Working Principle

These headers use a two-stage locking mechanism with spring-loaded pins to ensure secure mating between the header and the pin. The pins are coated with gold to provide a more reliable connection than through-hole technology contacts, since gold is very resistant to corrosion, which can occur when exposed to air or other substances in the environment. These headers are also designed with both female and male ends, allowing them to be placed onto boards without the need for additional wiring or connectors.

The 894-70-084-10-001101 headers use a right angle mating arrangement to reduce stress when the header is mated and un-mated. This is especially useful when multiple boards are connected, as the stress placed on both the boards and the header are lessened when the two are connected at a right angle. The right angle mating arrangement also reduces the amount of required space needed to use these headers, making them ideal for applications in space-constrained environments.

Conclusion

The 894-70-084-10-001101 headers and male pins are designed for board-level, secure connections in a variety of applications, from telecommunications and audio/visual equipment to aerospace and defense. They provide high-integrity interconnections that are resistant to shock or other extreme environmental conditions, allowing electronics systems to remain intact during harsh scenarios. In addition, these headers are designed with a right angle mating arrangement, saving space and reducing the stress placed on boards when connected.
