The male housing has female pins and the female housing has male pins. Some companies reference the housing gender while others reference the pin gender.
Tamiya connectors are useful because the locking mechanism ensures they do not come undone easily, and they are therefore reliable for use in remote-controlled aircraft, cars and the like.
The connector physically isolates the positive and negative wires so that the connectors remain safe to use in damp conditions. This makes them safe for use in relatively high-current applications in dirty conditions for example, model boats or RC cars used outdoors).
