Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Specialty Pins

Definition:
Rectangular Connectors - Headers and Specialty Pins are essential components in electronic and electrical systems, designed to establish secure and reliable connections between PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) or other devices. Headers typically consist of a male pin arrangement housed in a rectangular plastic or metal shell, while Specialty Pins include customized or high-performance variants tailored for specific applications, such as high-current, high-temperature, or rugged environments.

Types of Products in This Category:
1. PCB Headers: Single or double-row pin headers for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections.
2. Wire-to-Board Connectors: Headers with crimp or solder terminals for attaching wires to PCBs.
3. Specialty Pins: Reinforced, gold-plated, or high-density pins for demanding applications.
4. Shrouded or Box Headers: Featuring protective housings for added security and alignment.
5. Right-Angle & Vertical Headers: Offering flexible mounting orientations for space-constrained designs.

Buying Recommendations:
- Application Fit: Ensure compatibility with mating connectors (e.g., receptacles, sockets) in terms of pitch (e.g., 2.54mm, 1.27mm), pin count, and current rating.
- Durability: For harsh environments, opt for corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., gold plating, high-temperature plastics).
- Certifications: Verify industry standards (e.g., UL, IEC) for safety and performance compliance.
- Supplier Reliability: Source from trusted manufacturers to guarantee consistency and longevity in high-cycle applications.

This category is critical for engineers and procurement specialists seeking precision interconnects for industrial, automotive, or consumer electronics. Prioritize specifications over cost to avoid system failures.
