What should be noticed when using pin headers and sockets connectors?

The pin header and socket connector is an electronic component connector commonly used for inter-board or device-to-wire connections. When using the pin header and socket connector, the following points should be noted:
1. Check the integrity of the connection components: Before using the pin header and socket connector, check if each pin socket is intact or has any damage or deformation. If there are any abnormalities, replace them in a timely manner.
2. Confirm the arrangement direction: Before connecting, confirm the arrangement direction of the socket to ensure that the pin is plugged into the correct position.
3. Accurately align the pin with the socket: During the connection process, ensure that the pin is accurately aligned with the socket to avoid skewing or snapping.
4. Check the connection firmly: After the connection is completed, use your hands to gently pull the pin and socket to check whether they are firmly connected without any looseness.
5. Avoid excessive force or vibration: When using the pin header and socket connector, do not use excessive force to insert or remove and avoid any vibration to prevent weld foot damage, floating, or looseness.
6. Avoid bending or twisting: During the insertion and removal process, avoid the bending, deformation, or twisting of the socket and pin to prevent the needle foot from being damaged.
7. Avoid dampness or heat: The pin header and socket connector should be stored in a dry, ventilated, cool, and non-corrosive gas environment, avoiding contact with high temperature or high humidity environments to avoid affecting the connection effect.
8. Regularly check: After long-term use of the pin header and socket connector, regular inspections are required to ensure the connection quality.
