Pin header connector structure and material, what are its advantages?

The structure of Pin Header Connector (Pin Header Connector) usually consists of two parts: female pin header (Female Pin Header) and male pin header (Male Pin Header).

Female Pin Header: Female Pin Header is a connector with a row of holes, usually used for inserting and fixing male pins. It has the following characteristics:Round connector

Metal Shell: The shell of a female pin is usually made of metal material (e.g. copper, silver-plated copper, etc.), which provides strong mechanical support and corrosion resistance.

Plastic insulator: The hole of the female pin is lined with a plastic insulator to isolate and protect the pin connection.Board to wire connector

Spring contact: The internal spring contact structure securely inserts and holds the male pin and provides a reliable electrical connection.

Male Pin: A male pin is a connector with raised pins that are typically inserted into female pins to make a connection. It has the following characteristics:

Metal pins: Male pins are usually made of metal materials (e.g. brass, steel, etc.) and provide strong mechanical support and good electrical conductivity.Board to board connection cable

Positioning pins: The male pins usually have a Polarising Key on one side to ensure correct insertion and prevent misplacement.

Slightly curved design: The pins on male pins are usually slightly curved to improve the reliability and life cycle of the insertion and removal.

Benefits:

High Reliability: Pin Header Connectors provide a solid mechanical connection and a reliable electrical connection to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Easy to install and maintain: the simple structure of the pin header connector, easy to plug and unplug, making it easy to install and maintain.

High-density connection: The structure of the row Pin Connector allows multiple pins to achieve high-density connection in a limited space, which is suitable for scenarios that require a large number of signals to be transmitted.

Durability: Pin header connectors are usually made of high-quality materials that provide good resistance to wear, corrosion, and high temperatures.
