Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

961121-5900-AR-PT application field and working principle can be categorized in the Rectangular Connectors - Header, Male Pins family of connectors. This type of connector is used to connect electrical circuits for a variety of purposes. It includes a variety of different types of rectangular (or non-circular) connectors such as headers, tab connectors, receptacles, thru-hole connectors, backplane connectors, and more.

The 961121-5900-AR-PT connector is a type of male pin header connection, and typically consists of a pin row surrounded in an insulator body. It is a type of header that has a number of pins that are used to make electrical contact and hold the boards, wires, and/or other components in place. Male pin headers are soldered onto printed circuit boards (PCB) and are used in a variety of different electrical systems such as computers, automotive, and consumer electronic products.

Male pin headers are made up of three main components; the pins, the insulator body, and the plated metal shell. The pins are the contact points that make it possible for electrical energy to transfer through the connection. These pins are usually made from a metal material such as copper, then plated with nickel or tin, depending on the required application. The insulator body is the frame that holds the pins in place and is typically made from a plastic material such as polyamide, polyester, or polycarbonate. The metal shell is used to protect the pins and insulator body from corrosion while providing additional protection against electrical interference.

When the 961121-5900-AR-PT connector is in use, the pins are electrically connected when the male pin header is inserted into a female socket connector. The connection between the pins is maintained by the shell of the connector, which can be secured with screws or snaps. This type of connection is designed to provide a reliable and secure connection between the different components, and is often used in applications such as automotive, consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial, and medical equipment.

These types of connectors are easy to install and maintain, and are used in a variety of applications such as board-to-board connections, terminal blocks, and for multiple circuit paths. Male pin headers are also used as data interfaces in computer applications, as they provide a reliable connection with minimal interference.

In conclusion, 961121-5900-AR-PT application field and working principle belongs to the family of rectangular connectors – headers, male pins. The connector consists of three main components; the pins, the insulator body, and the plated metal shell. It provides an easy and secure connection between two components, and is often used in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronic products.
