This connector type is often used for attaching electrical sockets and plugs, for the interconnection of motors, for mounting devices and creating harnesses, for joining various electrical components and many other purposes. An example of a socket of this type is the female variant, ESHF-120-01-L-D-RA.
The general principle of operation for this type of connector is straightforward. By using a single-row header, a single header, two headers, or multiple headers, each with a different pin pitch, electrical connections can be made between two areas of a circuit. This allows signals to be sent through different pathways.
The materials used for ESHF-120-01-L-D-RA rectangular connectors – headers, male pins are mainly metals. This includes aluminum material for the pins, and gold, nickel, or tin plating to protect the pins from corrosion. The insulating material surrounding the pins is normally a thermoplastic such as Nylon 6/6 or PVC.
The one-row headers are designed for use in applications where space is limited. This type of connector can be used, for example, when connecting a socket wiring harness to a circuit board. It allows a wide range of interconnectivity options by providing contact points in a variety of depths, pitch sizes, and positions.
Two-row headers are generally used when more points of connection are needed, such as when connecting a motor to a circuit board. This requires more pins and two rows of pins, as each row has to be spaced out in order to allow for more pins. This type of connector also ensures that there is more contact area available for making and breaking connections.
Multiple-row headers are used in cases where the number of pins to be connected is substantial. Generally, the more rows of pins, the more contact area available for making connections, resulting in a more reliable connection with lower resistance.
The working principle of ESHF-120-01-L-D-RA rectangular connectors – headers, male pins is simple and reliable. When two objects are connected, contact is made via a metal pin inside the connector. This pin comes in contact with the sockets on the boards, and makes a connection between them. Using these connectors, the electrical flow can be routed through different pathways depending on how the pins are arranged.
This type of connector is widely used in various industries including automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and even consumer electronics. It is easy to install and provides a robust connection which is suitable for a wide range of applications.
ESHF-120-01-L-D-RA rectangular connectors – headers, male pins are easy to install, reliable, and suitable for a range of applications. By using single-, two- or multiple-row headers, connection between two areas of a circuit can be made easily and efficiently.
