Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins often provide the reliable connection points which are necessary for a variety of electronic projects. This article discusses the application field and the working principle of an example of rectangular connector, the 98414-F06-20LF connector.

Application

The 98414-F06-20LF connector, manufactured by Phoenix Contact and Contrec is a rectangular connector system with 2 rows of 6 double ended (male/female) pins. This kind of connector has many applications from residential to industrial, which can be concluded as follow:

• Small signal circuits: The good-quality contacts, small size and keyed housing of 98414-F06-20LF connector make it a great option for connections of small signal circuits, like 12V light circuits, doorbell just because of the low current and voltage.
• Rugged and harsh environment: The sealed housing makes the rectangular connectors unaffected by water and air, making them suitable to be used in harsh environment, including the connection under water, in corrosive environment or in a heavy dust atmosphere.
• High current circuits: The contacts are tailored to handle a high current up to 16A, so the 98414-F06-20LF connector can be applied in the connections of circuits with high currents, like solar energy panel or circuit with motors.

Working principle

The 98414-F06-20LF rectangular connector is composed of two parts, a housing and a plug. The housing is the basic element of the cable; it contains the contacts and provides the connection points to the equipment. The housing is composed of a keyed body and a cover cap. The body is composed of a front part full of female contacts, and a back part with 6 double ended pins. The female contacts are protected from external environment by the cover cap. The function of the cover cap is to make sure the connection is well made, kept safe and tight.

The plug is an accessory for the housing. It is composed of male contacts housed in a plastic casing and each plug is linked to the equipment by a wire. To make the connection a wire with a plug attached must be inserted in the housing. Once the wire is inserted in the female contact terminals, the cover cap should be closed.

The connections are made by two processes, an electrical and a mechanical process. When the pins and sockets get in contact, the electrical connection is made. When the cover cap is then closed, the physical connection is also allocated, guaranteeing a reliable connection.

Conclusion

The 98414-F06-20LF is an example of a reliable and highly versatile connector suitable for multiple application fields. Its small size, good-quality contacts and sealed housing are able to face the toughest conditions, making them suitable to be used in small signal circuits, rugged and harsh environment or high current circuits. The combination of electrical and mechanical connection guarantee a reliable connection.
