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

0513380474 Rectangular Connector is an electrical connector commonly used for connecting two or more wires or cables to a device that is designed to make multi-point connections. The primary purpose of these connectors is to provide a secure connection without compromising the current flow. They are available in many different sizes and configurations, depending on the application.

Applications

Rectangular connectors are commonly used in the industrial, medical, military and telecommunications industries. They are used for low-voltage applications such as computer peripherals, telecommunication equipment, audio visual systems, petrochemical processing and MRI systems. These connectors can provide high-current rating and secure connections in very tight spaces. They can be used for both commercial and industrial applications as they provide reliable connections in wet and hazardous locations.

Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are designed to provide secure, practically leak-proof connections. They consist of two mated contact rows of pin and socket configurations where the contact rows are asymmetrically designed to ensure the correct mating of the two pairs. The pins slide into the sockets and, once seated, provide for an electrical connection. The contact pins and sockets are separated by a central insulating barrier. The contacts usually come in the form of metal pins or sockets that are surrounded by insulation material. The contact pins and sockets are spaced at specific widths such that when they are mated they provide a secure connection.

The size, shape, and type of contacts used depend on the application. The contact pins and sockets are usually made of copper or brass and then plated with tin for corrosion resistance. The contacts may also be gold-plated for enhanced reliability and corrosion resistance in certain applications. Connectors are designed to be waterproof and typically have a durable plastic or metal housing. Depending on the application, the rectangular connectors may have several contact pins and sockets as well as other added features, such as pins and sockets for mounting, strain relief, or key tab. This allows for a high level of customization.

Conclusion

0513380474 Rectangular Connector is a type of electrical connector used to securely connect two or more wires or cables together. It is used in a variety of industrial, medical, military and telecommunications applications. Its design consists of two mated contact rows of pin and socket configurations which, when mated, provide reliable current transfer in a secure and waterproof manner. Connectors are available in many different sizes and configurations, depending on the application.
