Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are a specialized subset within the broader category of Connectors and Interconnects. These components are designed to establish secure and reliable electrical connections in a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial machinery. Characterized by their rectangular housing and male pin configurations, they ensure precise alignment and robust mating with corresponding female sockets or receptacles.

This product classification includes several types, such as:
- Standard Pin Headers: Featuring straight or right-angle orientations for versatile PCB mounting.
- High-Density Headers: Optimized for compact designs with closely spaced pins to save board space.
- Shrouded or Box Headers: Equipped with protective housings to prevent misalignment and enhance durability.
- Customizable Male Pin Connectors: Tailored for specific voltage, current, or environmental requirements.

When selecting Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, consider the following:
1. Pitch Size: Ensure compatibility with your PCB layout (common options include 1.27mm, 2.54mm, etc.).
2. Current Rating: Verify the connector s capacity to handle your application s power demands.
3. Material and Plating: Choose corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., gold or tin plating) for longevity.
4. Mating Cycles: For high-usage scenarios, prioritize connectors rated for frequent insertions.

Investing in high-quality headers and male pins enhances signal integrity, reduces maintenance costs, and future-proofs your electronic assemblies. Explore our catalog to find industry-compliant solutions tailored to your technical and budgetary needs.
