Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

IPL1-121-02-L-SH-K is an especially distinctive type of rectangular connectors, commonly known as "headers" with "male pins". They are widely used in many applications in a variety of industries, such as computing, aerospace, communications, automation, medical, navigation and transportation to connect electrical components or transmit signals from one device to another.

Application Field

IPL1-121-02-L-SH-K headers and male pins are usually used to join two pieces of electrical equipment together, and are used in different industries for many different purposes. In computing applications, the rectangular connectors are used to link data cards to the main system board, thereby allowing the transmission and receipt of information. In aerospace applications, headers and male pins are used to secure circuits and interconnect components both internally and externally, and they are often used as docking mechanisms. In communications applications the header/male pin connectors are used for a variety of specific communications needs, including ensuring circuit continuity and providing power or signal sources.In medical equipment, these header/male pin connectors make sure that the instruments, machines and units function correctly and in a uniform manner. Automation, navigation and transportation applications also use IPL1-121-02-L-SH-K headers and male pins. For example, in automation, they are used in robotic and automated machinery, while in navigation and transportation, they are used for controlling signals, such as the signals used in satellite navigation systems.

Working Principle

IPL1-121-02-L-SH-K headers and male pins consist of two components: the male and the female. The male pin is typically a metal pin that fits snugly into the female header. The female header is a mating piece that is attached to the circuit board, which is connected to the components. When the male pin is inserted into the female header, electrical signals can pass between the components. This allows the necessary data or power to pass from one component to the other, while providing a secure connection between the two. The pins and headers are typically made of either brass or gold-plated metals, depending on the application and usage they will serve. Gold plating resists the potential oxidization of the pins, providing a more secure and reliable connection for higher data transmission rates. The pins are also widely used with braided shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and protect the data.
