Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins: GX60-18P(30) Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are widely used in consumer and industrial electronic applications because of their flexible and reliable design. In this article, we take GX60-18P(30) as an example to discuss its application fields and working principles.

What is GX60-18P(30)?

GX60-18P(30) is a type of rectangular connector, also known as a header or male pin. It has two pieces: a male connector with 18 pins, and a female receptacle with 30 pins. Each pin is one millimeter in diameter, and the whole header has an overall length of 60 millimeters. It has an insertion depth of 20.4 millimeters and a mounting hole diameter of 4 millimeters.

Application Field

GX60-18P(30) is mainly used in data communication systems including but not limited to Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). All kinds of plastic molding cover ensure the safety and protection of the electrical paths of the connectors. They can easily transfer signals, store information, and are very convenient to maintain. It is also widely used in board-on-board and header-to-cable connections for different applications like computer peripherals, consumer electronics, industrial components, military , and medical equipment.

Working Principle

GX60-18P(30) works by electrical connection or signal transmission.When two different pieces are connected, both male and female have the holes corresponds. To hold them firmly in those position, a type of metal components called screws are used for socketing into the holes and make the connection much more secure.Firstly, solder is applied into the soldering interface which is the connecting point between the male and female connector.Secondly, pressure is applied to the metal component with a special tool, thus the screws are locked into the holes, making sure the connections are tightened. Last but not least, a plastic cover is provided for the ultimate goal of keeping dust away and waterproofing.

Conclusion

In conclusion, GX60-18P (30) is a widely-used rectangular connector with both data communication and board-on-board connection application fields and reliable working principle. The male connector has 18 pins with a total length of 60 millimeters and insertion depth of 20.4 millimeters, while the female receptacle has 30 pins. It uses a screw and plastic cover to protect the electrical paths and secure the connection between the two connectors. It is not only efficient but also safe to use.
