Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Male Pins

M20-974256 rectangular connectors are specialized components used in various applications where digital signals require reliable transport and adequate protection against interference. These headers, male pins, and associated accessories primarily consist of printed circuit board (PCB)-based rectangular connectors with metalized contacts that are available in a wide range of configurations and sizes.

Applications

M20-974256 rectangular connectors are used extensively in a variety of industries, including medical and aerospace. They are also commonly used in consumer electronics, such as cell phones, digital cameras, and laptops, as well as in industrial automation, communications, military systems, and automotive and transportation applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of M20-974256 rectangular connectors is relatively simple. Each connector is a small, rectangular-shaped component that contains a set of metal contacts that are used to connect the device to an external circuit. The contacts can be inserted into a mating connector, which is typically designed to align with the pins of the mating connector. When inserted, the contacts form an electrical connection between the two components, allowing data or power to travel between them.

M20-974256 rectangular connectors consist of a pin arrangement that allows for reliable mating and connectors are typically designed with a self-locking mechanism that ensures the pins remain securely connected even under conditions of vibration. The design also protects against shock and other environmental hazards or tampering that may damage the connection. In addition, the connectors are designed with a polarizing feature that makes it impossible to insert the connector incorrectly, ensuring a reliable connection.
