Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

91601-304 Application Field and Working Principle

91601-304 rectangular connectors, which are also known as headers, receptacles, or female sockets, are industrial-grade electrically-conductive pieces of hardware used to connect two electrical circuits, or the devices within them, together. These connectors are commonly found in equipment such as computers, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and audio/video equipment where data or electrical power need to be transmitted with minimal or no interruption from one system to another.

The 91601-304 connector is a high-performance connector specifically designed for high-speed signal and power applications such as HDMI and USB3.0/3.1 connections. It is a fully shielded, robust, low cost and reliable solution. This type of connector is compliant with IEC 61076-3-103 and MIL-C-24308 standards, and it has excellent EMI and EMC performance and is UL 94V-0 flame retardant.

The design of a 91601-304 connector consists of two contact pieces, one male and one female. The male contact pushes into the female contact in order to create the connection. In most cases, the female part is mounted on a printed circuit board and the male connector can be plugged into it from the top side. The connector is secured in place using fixing screws, which helps to ensure a strong connection, as well as a good level of electrical and mechanical performance.

The working principle of the 91601-304 is relatively straightforward. When two pieces of contact are pushed together, a couple of metal connectors, known as \'pins\', are pushed into the female connector. This creates an electrical connection and allows electricity to flow from one device to the other. The sides of the contact pieces are also fitted with a set of conductive surfaces that create a secondary connection that helps to reduce the risk of electrical interference from third party devices.

The 91601-304 connectors are popular in a variety of commercial applications ranging from computer systems to electronic devices. They can be used to connect peripheral devices such as keyboards, mice, and monitors to the main system, or to provide a physical connection between internal components. They are also used in audio/video systems, industrial control systems, and telecommunications equipment.

The 91601-304 connector is a reliable, robust, and low-cost solution that is well-suited for a range of applications. The connector\'s design allows for easy installation and provides excellent electrical, EMI, and EMC performance, making it suitable for use in a wide range of electronic devices.
