Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins
Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins | Interconnect Solutions for Secure & Reliable PCB Connections
Definition & Purpose
Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are a critical subset of Connectors and Interconnects, designed to establish robust, standardized electrical connections between printed circuit boards (PCBs), modules, or devices. These components feature a male pin interface that inserts into corresponding female sockets (receptacles), ensuring secure signal transmission or power delivery in compact, high-density layouts. Widely used in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics, they excel in applications demanding precision, durability, and repeatable mating cycles.
Key Product Types
1. Single/Double-Row Headers: Low-profile options for space-constrained designs, available in through-hole (THT) or surface-mount (SMT) configurations.
2. Shrouded/Box Headers: Incorporate protective housings to prevent misalignment and enhance mechanical stability in harsh environments.
3. High-Current Headers: Engineered with thicker pins (e.g., 2.54mm pitch) to support power-intensive applications.
4. Right-Angle & Vertical Headers: Offer flexible PCB layout options for optimized airflow and wire routing.
5. Custom Pin-Count Solutions: Tailored configurations (e.g., 4-pin to 40-pin) to match specific circuit requirements.
Purchasing Recommendations
- Pitch & Size: Verify pin spacing (e.g., 1.27mm, 2.54mm) and row count to ensure compatibility with existing receptacles.
- Material: Prioritize high-temperature plastics (e.g., PBT) and gold-plated pins for corrosion resistance in demanding conditions.
- Current Rating: Select headers rated 3A/pin for power applications to avoid overheating.
- Compliance: Check for UL, IEC, or RoHS certifications to meet industry safety standards.
- Supplier Evaluation: Partner with vendors offering IP67-rated options for moisture-prone environments and sample/testing support.
Ideal for prototyping and mass production, these connectors balance cost-efficiency with long-term reliability critical for IoT devices, robotics, and automotive control systems. Always cross-reference datasheets to align with your project s mechanical and electrical parameters.
