Rectangular connectors, or rectangular headers, are electrical connectors made up of two or more pins that enter into a board or cable in a rectangular shape. Commonly used as power inlets, they come in different sizes, shapes, and orientations, and are often used to connect two separate computer or telecommunications systems. Male and female connectors are made in several different shapes and sizes, and there are also versions with specialty pins such as right angle headers and etc.
The ESW-102-37-G-D is a double row, right-angle, two-piece connector with 37 contacts in each row. It is widely used in industrial systems, such as in the medical field, automotive industry, robotics, or even in aerospace applications. It comes with a durability rating of up to 1000 mating cycles, making it suitable for most commercial and industrial applications.
The ESW-102-37-G-D is a versatile family of connectors that can be used for a variety of applications including power-in, signal-out, data-in, and control. Its two-piece construction increases stability compared to regular connectors, making it suitable for use in harsh environment applications. Depending on the application, this connector can be used in whether isolated or grounded environments.
The working principle is simple, the two pieces of the connector enter into each other forming an electrical bridge. While the male part has 37 contacts, the female part has a corresponding number of sockets, which help to ensure a good connection when both parts are tightly secured. The robust construction of the ESW-102-37-G-D ensures that the connections are reliable and can handle up to 1000 mating cycles.
