DF5A-4DP-5DSA

rectangular connectors: headers, male pins

Rectangular connectors, commonly known as pin headers, are interchangeably in electronic assemblies – such as on a PCB board – to provide connection between wires, resistors, capacitors, and other components. Connectors come in many different sizes and are usually composed of a plastic housing in which several signal pins contact points (male) and cable fixed points (female) are embedded, for easy mechanical attachment and electrical connection.

DF5A-4DP-5DSA is a type of male pin header connectors commonly used for reliable signal connections between electronic components. This type of pin header features a 5.08mm pitch, 4 rows, and a mating area of 5.7mm. The header is single row with straight and right-angle terminations.

Application field and working principle

The 5.08mm DF5A-4DP-5DSA male pin header has been designed for many kinds of commercial and industrial applications, from prototyping and wiring to PCB board connection. It is highly reliable with excellent insulation and mechanical stability performance, so it is an ideal choice for making secure electrical connection in PCB boards.

The working principle of this connector is based on the principle of electromechanical contact. When the two pins of the male pin header are inserted into their corresponding female sockets, a mechanical contact is established along with an electrical connection, which allows the electronic components on each side of the circuit to communicate or power-up.

This particular DF5A-4DP-5DSA connector is widely used in different types of electronic circuits, from low-voltage and low-power applications to high-current and high-voltage applications. It has a reliable connection and a long lifespan, making it a popular and widely used connector among manufacturers.
