What are rectangular connectors?
Rectangular connector is a connector used to connect electrical equipment. Its shape is basically rectangular and its mating surface is also basically rectangular. It is also an important category in the connector family. It has many varieties and specifications and is widely used.
The rectangular connector is also a multi-contact low-frequency connector. Its cross-sectional shape is rectangular, which is convenient for high-density arrangement of contact pairs. It is widely used in indoor cable connections, internal connections of equipment and multi-row assembly occasions; in industrial control systems, instrumentation, communications equipment, aerospace, automobiles, rail transportation, medical equipment and other fields.
How do rectangular connectors work?
The principle of rectangular connectors is to use the metal contacts between the plug and the socket to make an electrical connection. The socket has neatly arranged metal terminals, and the plug has a corresponding number of pins. When the socket and the plug are properly connected, the pins can connect to each other and form a pathway. The rectangular connector is also waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, and fireproof, and can adapt to various harsh environments.
What are the functions of rectangular connectors?
The main function of rectangular connectors is to connect and transmit high-speed and high-frequency signals, large currents, and overload power. These connectors are equipped with gaskets to prevent dust and water from entering in highly polluted environments. In addition, some models of rectangular connectors are designed with metal shells to withstand high voltage, high heat, and other harsh environments.
Advantages of rectangular connectors
- Easy connection and compact structure
The rectangular connector adopts a plug-in design with stable contact performance, which can ensure the reliability of circuit connection. Compared with the traditional welding method, the rectangular connector can be easily disassembled and replaced without damaging the circuit board, which improves the convenience of maintenance and upgrading.
- High reliability and durability
The rectangular connector is made of high-quality materials and precision technology, with low contact resistance and strong anti-interference ability. It can effectively reduce signal loss, improve the transmission efficiency and signal integrity of the circuit, and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
- Strong versatility
Rectangular connectors usually have excellent anti-interference performance and can adapt to various harsh environments, such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, vibration, etc., which makes rectangular connectors have broad application prospects in industry, automobiles, aerospace and other fields.
- Flexible design
The design and application of rectangular connectors have greatly improved the production process of electronic products, simplified mass production, facilitated maintenance and upgrades, and increased design flexibility.
- Long service life
Rectangular connectors have a very long service life and can be used for a long time without replacement.
- Strong anti-interference ability
The rectangular connector has strong anti-interference ability and can effectively prevent the influence of external electromagnetic interference.
In short, the rectangular connector has the advantages of convenient connection, high reliability, strong anti-interference, strong versatility, and long service life. It is a very practical electronic connector. It should be noted that different rectangular connectors may have different performance and specifications, so the selection needs to be based on actual needs.
