Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

0458302223 is a type of rectangular connector, which is typically found in arrays, edge type, and mezzanine (board to board) applications. The 0458302223 is composed of two mating components, which are held together by a mated pair of connector housings. The top housing (also known as the upper contact) is typically black, and holds a series of contacts in its interior. The contacts can be thought of as miniature pins, which protrude through the top housing and into the mating bottom housing (known also as the lower contact). The contacts are hermetically sealed into each housing, ensuring that the two housings remain properly mated.

The 0458302223 connector utilizes a 2-point latch system which ensures that the two housings remain securely mated. This type of rectangular connector is somewhat unique compared to its counterparts, due to its mezzanine-style orientation. Mezzanine connectors are designed to allow for two boards to be stacked (or connected) over one another, as opposed to the usual “flat” orientation for other types of connectors. This type of connector ensures that the contacts remain in permanent contact with the mating housing, even when the two boards are separated.

In terms of its electrical capabilities, 0458302223 connectors are typically rated for temperatures up to 125°C, and are usually limited to low-voltage applications, such as 5V, 12V, and 24V power supplies. They are also generally limited to low-current applications, such as 3A. Additionally, the contacts are typically gold plated and tin plated to ensure strong and reliable connection between the two mated parts.

In conclusion, 0458302223 connectors are ideal for edge-type, arrays, and mezzanine applications. They provide a secure and reliable connection between two boards, are rated for low-voltage, low-current operations, and feature a 2-point latching system which helps to ensure that the two parts remain mated. The tin and gold plating on the contacts ensure reliable electrical connection and resistance to corrosion.
