Headers, Male Pins

Headers, male pins are a type of rectangular connector that are used to connect electronic devices to printed circuit boards (PCBs) or other types of electrical components. These connectors are called "headers" because they are typically mounted on the PCB or component, and they are called "male pins" because they have a set of pins that are designed to mate with corresponding sockets or pads on another connector. Headers, male pins are commonly used in applications where a removable or detachable connection is required, such as in test and measurement equipment, industrial control systems, and audio/video equipment. They are also used in many other applications, such as in automotive systems and medical devices. Headers, male pins are available in a variety of sizes and styles, each of which is designed for a specific type of application or PCB layout. Headers, male pins typically consist of two parts: the header, which is mounted on the PCB or component, and the mating connector, which is attached to the device. The header has a set of pins that are designed to mate with the corresponding sockets or pads on the mating connector. When the two connectors are mated, they create a reliable and secure electrical connection between the device and the PCB or component.
