Rectangular Connectors - Board In, Direct Wire to Board

Definition:
Rectangular Connectors - Board In, Direct Wire to Board are a specialized subset of interconnects designed to establish secure and reliable electrical connections between wires and printed circuit boards (PCBs). These connectors feature a rectangular housing and are engineered for direct mounting onto PCBs, ensuring efficient signal transmission and power distribution in compact and high-density applications.

Types of Products in This Category:
This classification includes several connector types, such as:
- Pin Headers & Receptacles: Male and female connectors that facilitate board-to-wire connections.
- Terminal Blocks: Modular, insulated blocks that secure wire terminations to PCBs.
- IDC (Insulation Displacement Connectors): Enable quick, solderless wire-to-board connections.
- Box Headers: Enclosed rectangular connectors offering enhanced protection and stability.
- FFC/FPC Connectors: Flexible flat cable connectors for space-constrained designs.

Purchasing Recommendations:
When selecting Rectangular Wire-to-Board Connectors, consider:
1. Current/Voltage Ratings: Ensure compatibility with your circuit s power requirements.
2. Pitch Size: Common options include 1.27mm, 2.54mm, or 5.08mm match to PCB design specs.
3. Durability: Opt for high-cycle-life connectors (e.g., 10K+ mating cycles) for industrial use.
4. Locking Mechanisms: Features like latches or clips prevent accidental disconnections.
5. Environmental Resistance: Select IP-rated or high-temperature models for harsh conditions.

Ideal for consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial controls, these connectors balance space efficiency with robust performance. Prioritize certified suppliers (e.g., UL, IEC) to guarantee compliance and reliability.
