ESHF-117-01-L-D-TH

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

ESHF-117-01-L-D-TH, commonly referred to as a header, is a male pin rectangular connector widely used for various applications. Headers come in diverse sizes, styles, and configurations. They provide connecting points for two items that need to be interconnected and are composed of two pieces, the male pin and the female header. The male pin part contains gender-specific components that up-connect to the printed circuit board (PCB) while the female part down-connects to that PCB.

The ESHF-117-01-L-D-TH header is commonly used for making electrical connections between two pieces of PCB and provides an interface between a power source and the printed circuit board. Additionally, this connector type is often employed in the fields of medical, automation, and communications apparatus for both wired and wireless connected devices. With excellent waterproofing capabilities, the ESHF-117-01-L-D-TH also provides reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions and is hence highly suited for outdoor or marine applications.

Working Principle

The ESHF-117-01-L-D-TH helps to transfer electricity and signals through solder connections when attaching to a PCB. The main components of this header include two rows of male pins, plastic housing, and a threaded metal ring. The arrangement of the male pins allows the user to wire between two board connectors to make an electrical connection, while the plastic housing allows the pins to be securely held in place. The metal ring helps to secure the housing to the header and also ensures that the pins are flush against the surface of the PCB, providing a secure connection.

The metal ring also helps protect the connection against outside forces, and during the assembly of the connector, the metal ring secures the connector flush to the board. The pins are soldered to the board and the plastic housing is then placed over the pins to hold them in place and protect them. The metal ring screws to the housing, holding the housing in place and ensuring proper contact is maintained between the pins and the board.

Advantages

Headers such as the ESHF-117-01-L-D-TH offer several advantages over traditional wire-to-wire connectors. The most notable benefit is their ability to transmit a high amount of data quickly, with minimal interference. Headers also help to reduce assembly time, as they are easy to install and maintain. Finally, the use of headers can improve the overall design of a PCB, ensuring that electronic components are placed as close as possible and simplifying the cable laying process.

Conclusion

The ESHF-117-01-L-D-TH header is an invaluable part of the PCB assembly process. This connector type is suitable for a variety of applications and can help to improve the performance of a device by providing reliable data transmission in harsh environments. With its reliable construction and sturdy design, the ESHF-117-01-L-D-TH is an excellent choice for connecting parts of a PCB and providing a secure connection.
