Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular connectors, also known as pin and socket connectors, are devices that allow for electrical connections between two circuits of equipment. They are used to carry digital and analog signals and provide a means of connecting between boards and other electronic components.

The most popular type of rectangular connectors are the Pin and Socket Headers. Pin Headers have metal pins, or male pins, that are inserted into metal sockets, or female sockets, on the opposing board. The purpose of these connectors is to establish a reliable electrical connection and lock the parts together in order to prevent accidental disconnection.

Pin Headers are commonly used in many applications, such as computers, test equipment, industrial control systems, and telecom systems. In these applications, the Pin Headers transfer data, power, and/or isolated signals from one board to another.

951232-8622-AR Application Field and Working Principle

The 951232-8622-AR is a male pin header from ITT/Cannon Connector. It\'s a rectangular, open-frame, right-angle board-to-board interconnect. This male pin header has a 0.050" (1.27mm) centerline pitch and a current rating of 7A AC/DC. It also possesses rear strain relief option, and it\'s RoHS compliant.

This type of Connector provides a robust connection for high-current rated applications. It also provides a reliable connection for applications in harsh environments. The 0.050" (1.27mm) centerline pitch of this Pin Header allows a higher number of contacts in a small volume, while the deep ribbing and reinforced beam sections on the rear side of the connector ensure secure mating.

In operation, the Male Pin Header is inserted into the Female Socket on the board. The male pin makes electrical contact with the male sockets inside the female socket. The locking clips on the female socket then locks the pin in place and assure secure electrical connection.
