Right Angle Sinking Header Connector
Technical Overview
A Right Angle Sinking Header is a specialized electronic connector designed for compact PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assemblies, featuring:
- 90° Angled Pins: Terminals bent at a right angle to enable perpendicular connection between PCBs or between a PCB and a component, optimizing space in confined layouts.
- Sinking Design: The header's mounting interface is recessed or "sunk" relative to the PCB surface, creating a low-profile assembly. This design reduces the overall height of the connector above the board, typically by a specified sinking depth (e.g., 1.0mm to 3.0mm), while ensuring secure soldering and mechanical stability.
- The right-angle geometry allows horizontal-to-vertical signal routing, ideal for stacked PCBs or edge-mounted components. Sinking depth reduces vertical clearance, making it suitable for thin devices (e.g., wearables, tablets).
- Recessed mounting provides stress relief during handling or vibration, minimizing risks of pin bending or detachment. Optional locking features (e.g., snap-fit tabs) enhance retention in high-motion environments.
- Smartphones, laptops, and tablets (internal FPC/FFC connections).
- Audio/Video devices (e.g., headphone jacks, HDMI ports).
- Control panels, sensors, and automotive sub-assemblies (e.g., infotainment systems).
- Compact sensors, drones, and modular robotic components requiring dense, low-profile interconnections.
