Pin header and female header belong to connectors. Pin header connector is generally widely used in the connection of PCB boards, and is famous for its universal connectors. Generally, we use pin to represent the number of rows, and there are connectors such as row female header connector and contact line end to match it.
Scope of application: computer, electronic communication, instruments, meters, industrial control, program control, digital cameras, MP3, PDA, as well as various mobile storage disks, DVD, LCM/LCD display screens, electronic toys, etc. Which provide careful and reliable connection from board to board and from line to board.
Material selection of pin header and female connector: among all metal elements, copper has better performance in conductive materials; Followed by silver and gold, which can reduce contact impedance, are generally only used in connector electroplating materials. Pure copper is used as power, wire and information transmission in wires and cables. At the same time, although the conductivity of pure copper is good, its mechanical strength and heat resistance can not meet the standards of connector industry in electronic connector industry. At this time, it is necessary to add some alloying elements to improve its own mechanical strength and heat resistance.
The function of the pin header and female connector: it plays the role of a bridge between blocked circuits or isolated circuits, and undertakes the task of current or signal transmission. Generally, they are used together to form a board-to-board or board-to-line.
