0550911674 Connectors, Interconnects

Rectangular connector arrays are being increasingly used in the electronics industry for a variety of applications. By providing a reliable interconnection between systems or boards, these arrays can be used for anything from data and power transmission to the transfer of signals. To meet the specific requirements of different applications, multiple varieties of rectangular connector arrays, such as edge type, mezzanine and board-to-board connectors, are available. In this article, we discuss the application field and working principles of 0550911674, an edge type rectangular connector from Molex.

Applications

0550911674 is an edge type rectangular connector from Molex. Since it is a commercial grade product, the applications of this connector typically include digital or moving posters, gaming/entertainment systems, industrial/commercial peripherals and consumer devices. Besides these conventional applications, it can also be used within telecommunications and networking systems, medical equipment, automotive, etc. Furthermore, its micro-packaging design makes it a suitable solution for space-constrained applications.

Working principle

0550911674 works on the principle of magnetic attraction. It contains two mating components, namely the connector and receptacle. The connector, which is typically mounted on a hard or flexible circuit board, is made up of a number of pins configured in an array. When the mating receptacle is inserted over the pins, a magnetic force is created due to the presence of an internal permanent magnetic core in the receptacle. This force helps create contact between the pins and the receptacle, resulting in an electrical connection between the two components. Since the magnetized forces do not depend on the state of the pins (whether they are loaded or unloaded) the connector is stable and reliable.

Conclusion

0550911674 is an edge type rectangular connector from Molex. This commercial grade product is used for a variety of applications such as digital or moving posters, gaming/entertainment systems, industrial/commercial peripherals and consumer devices. The working principle of this connector is magnetic attraction, where a magnetic force due to the presence of an internal permanent magnetic core pulls the pins and receptacle together, thus creating an electrical connection between the two components.
