Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

When an engineer needs to quickly and efficiently make electrical connections between multiple devices, rectangular connectors are the perfect choice. There are currently three major types of rectangular connectors that are available in the market, referred to as headers, receptacles, and female sockets. Depending on the particular application, one of these types may be more suitable than the other.

93696-310 Application Field and Working Principle

The 93696-310 is a popular rectangular header used for making electrical connections between multiple devices. It is designed to make efficient connections between flat, rigid surfaces and is perfect for applications where space is limited. The header is a two-row design with 6 circuits per row and is constructed out of high quality brass. It features nickel-plated contacts which provide a secure, reliable connection in a variety of conditions. The header is pre-assembled onto a printed circuit board and is available in either vertical or horizontal configurations.

The main working principle of the 93696-310 is the connection of two electrical devices. It consists of two parts - a male and female connector. The male connector has two rows of contact pins protruding from it, while the female connector has two rows of cavities designed to accept the male contact pins. When the two parts are brought together, the contact pins form an electrical circuit which allows the two devices to exchange data or power.

The 93696-310 is perfect for applications where space is limited and quick, reliable connections are a priority. It is especially useful in medical and industrial applications, as it is designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions. It is also well-suited for use in automation, communications, consumer electronics, wiring harnesses, and other applications where efficient connections with miniaturized components are needed.

When using the 93696-310, it is important to take the necessary precautions to ensure the security and reliability of the connection. The contacts must be properly crimped or soldered in order to achieve maximum electrical integrity. It is also essential to protect the header from dust, dirt, and moisture, as these can adversely affect the performance of the connection. Lastly, the header should be properly sealed with heat shrink tubing to protect it from temperature and humidity.

In summary, the 93696-310 is a popular rectangular header designed for making efficient electrical connections between multiple devices. It is the perfect choice for applications where space is limited and quick, reliable connections are a priority. With its high quality construction, it is suitable for extreme environmental conditions and is perfect for a variety of automation, communications, and consumer electronics applications.
