Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are common connection components in electronic devices used to achieve electrical connections between circuit boards, modules, or devices. It consists of an insulating base, conductive pins (needle sockets), socket holes or female sockets, etc., designed with precise dimensions and spacing to match different interface standards. Pin headers usually have exposed pins for insertion into sockets or female sockets for connection; The socket and female receiver provide holes for pin insertion, forming a stable electrical connection. These connectors are widely used in various electronic devices due to their high reliability, easy insertion and removal, and wear resistance.

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are widely used in various fields such as communication, computers, consumer electronics, industrial automation, automotive electronics, and aerospace. On communication devices, they are used to connect circuit boards, modules, and external devices to ensure efficient transmission of signals and data. In computer systems, rectangular connectors serve as interfaces for components such as motherboards, graphics cards, and memory modules, supporting the stable operation of devices. In the field of consumer electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, audio devices, etc., rectangular connectors are used for charging, data transmission, and expansion functions.

• 1. How to distinguish between male and female connectors

  The male and female connectors of connectors can be distinguished by the following methods:
  
  ‌Dimensions‌: The male connector is usually smaller and has protruding pins or conductors, while the female connector is larger and has a recessed hole or slot for receiving the male connector. ‌
  ‌Pin structure‌: The male socket has protruding pins, while the female socket has a recessed jack for inserting the male socket.
  ‌Color identification‌: Some connectors are designed to be identified by different colors, such as red for male sockets and blue for female sockets.
  ‌English representation‌: The male socket is represented by the English word Plug, and the female socket is represented by the English word Receptacle.
  Through these methods, the male and female sockets of the connector can be effectively distinguished to ensure correct connection and use.

• 2. The difference between male and female connector pins

  1. What are male and female connector pins?
  
  Male and female connector pins are the two most commonly used terminals in connectors, and are also important components of connecting circuits. Male and female pins are usually made of metal, and their shapes and sizes can vary depending on the connector. Male and female pins usually appear in pairs, and the male pin can be inserted into the female pin for connection.
  
  2. The difference between male and female pins
  
  The difference between male and female pins is usually in their shape and use. The male pin is the plug in the connector, usually with a cylindrical or rectangular head, with a needle-like metal on the top, which can be inserted into the female pin for connection. The female pin is the socket in the connector, usually one or more jacks, into which the male pin can be inserted for connection. Therefore, male and female pins often appear in pairs.
  
  3. The use of male and female pins
  
  Male and female pins can be used to connect various electrical devices and lines, such as televisions, computers, telephones, and cars. They are very convenient to use and can be inserted and unplugged for easy replacement.
  
  Different connectors may require the use of different types of male and female pins. Some connectors may require a pair of male/female pins, while others require multiple male/female pins for connection

• 3. What are the types of rectangular connectors?

  ‌Pin-type rectangular connector: This is the most common type of rectangular connector. The metal pin is inserted into the interface hole and rotated to tighten to achieve conductive connection.
  ‌Snap-on rectangular connector: It is fixed with self-locking mechanisms such as spring sheets or clips and is suitable for use in vibration environments.
  ‌Patch-type rectangular connector (SMT type): Suitable for use in surface mount technology (SMT), convenient and fast.
  ‌Board-to-board rectangular connector: Mainly used for the interconnection of board-level and system-level circuits, with high-density connection, low plug-in and pull-out times, and easy maintenance.
  ‌Wire-to-board rectangular connector‌: Suitable for connecting internal signals and power of equipment, can withstand high current and high temperature environments, and has the advantages of easy installation and convenient maintenance.
