DF14A-15P-1.25H(20)

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

DF14A-15P-1.25H(20) is an example of a rectangular connector header and male pin combination, a type of electrical connector used to interface two electronic components such as a cable, circuit board, or other device. This type of connector is often referred to as a board-to-board (or PCB-to-PCB) connector, because it is designed to connect two printed circuit boards (PCBs). The DF14A-15P-1.25H(20) consists of a 15-pin male header and 20-pin female header.

Application Field

Rectangular Connectors can be used in a variety of applications. These include communication systems, industrial automation and control systems, robots and sensors, audio and home theatre systems, power supplies and more. They are especially useful for connecting two PCBs or circuit boards together, and for providing electrical connections between two or more wires or cables. Because of their versatility and ease of use, Rectangular Connectors are commonly found in a variety of electronic equipment and consumer products.

Working Principles

Rectangular connectors use a variety of basic principles in order to achieve the desired connection, depending on the type and size of the connection. The most basic and common rectangular connectors use pins and sockets to achieve the desired electrical connection. In this setup, a pin is inserted into a socket in order to make an electrical connection between the two components. In other cases, a connection may be established with a metal key inserted into a metal keyhole or a latch connected to an edge connector. Additionally, some rectangular connectors use flip-up, disappearing pins in order to achieve a secure connection.

In order to ensure quality and reliable connections, the components of rectangular connectors are designed to remain secure, and in many cases, they are held together with fasteners like screws or rivets. Sometimes the pins are held in place with springs or other tensioning systems, or even with snap-lock fittings.

Conclusion

While Rectangular Connectors are not the most well-known type of electrical connectors, they are incredibly useful and versatile options for all types of applications. By combining pin and socket connections, key and latch connections, and other connection types, these connectors can provide secure connections that will last. Additionally, many different sizes and types of Rectangular Connectors can be used, making them a great option for all types of projects.
