Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins (DF11Z-16DP-2V(21)) Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors – headers, male pins (DF11Z-16DP-2V(21)) are the most widely used among all types of connectors in electronic communication systems. They are also known as card edge connectors, edgeboard connectors and edge connectors due to their capacity to carry signals from one printed circuit board (PCB) to another. This type of connector is typically designed with two parallel rows of electrical terminals and each terminal is crimped with an insulation displacement contact. These electrical terminals provide excellent electrical connection from one device to another. This makes them an ideal choice in applications where high-speed data transmission is required.

In terms of application fields, DF11Z-16DP-2V(21) is mainly used in various industries, such as automation, aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, industrial controls, telecommunications, medical, military and transport. Specifically, it is common to find this type of connector in mil-spec harnessing, power distribution, internet of things (IoT) devices, robotics, communication systems, wireless systems, and in high-end consumer electronics.

It is also important to understand the basic working principle of DF11Z-16DP-2V(21) connectors. When an electrical connection is established between two printed circuit boards (PCBs), the connector works as a bridge to ensure that the electrical signals from one board pass through the other board without any interruption. This is done by connecting the two PCBs with a pair of strip lines. The strip lines work as a medium to transfer electrical current from one PCB to the other and this helps to reduce signal loss and increase the speed of data transmission.

The DF11Z-16DP-2V(21) connectors are constructed with two rows of contacts that are insulated from each other and two pieces of shielded insulation tape. The contacts are designed to provide reliable, low-resistance electrical connections while the tape helps to reduce electrical noise and to improve signal integrity. In addition, the construction of the connectors includes two locking mechanisms that secure each assembly to prevent accidental disengagement.

Overall, the DF11Z-16DP-2V(21) connectors are very popular in a wide variety of applications, thanks to its reliability and speed of data transmission. Additionally, it provides a secure connection between two PCBs and offers protection from electrical noise, so it is highly recommended for high-end electronics or applications requiring high speed data transmission.
