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

0717420004 is a type of rectangular arrays edge type mezzanine connector, henceforth 0717420004 edge type mezzanine connector will be referred to in this article as the 0717420004 connector. A mezzanine connector is a board-to-board connector designed to carry signals and power between two physically separated electronic modules, such as between a daughter board the main motherboard.

Application Field

The 0717420004 connector is well suited for a variety of applications, from small consumer electronic products and medical instruments, to high-performance computing boards. For instance, the 0717420004 connector is particularly popular in the field of medical imaging and internal body imaging, where the 0717420004\'s small size and low profile are combined with rugged durability to create an optimal connection between boards. Additionally, the 0717420004 can be used to connect two boards in such a way that both boards remain electrically isolated, as all contacts of the 0717420004 are insulated.

The 0717420004\'s small size and robust construction also make it a preferred choice for applications that require higher densities of signal or power transfer than what is possible with other board-to-board connectors. For instance, the 0717420004 is often used to connect sets of high-end computing boards for enhanced performance. The 0717420004 is also often used in avionics, military, and aerospace applications, where its ability to quickly connect and disconnect two boards can be invaluable.

Working Principle

The 0717420004 connector operates on the principle of slide and lock. The contacts are sized to allow for inter-connection between the rows of contacts for different boards as the G connector is a polarized connector. The contact pins are specially designed to have a flat end that easily slots into each other when being inserted. Once inserted, the flat end locks into place, creating a strong bond that cannot be easily removed, allowing for reliable signal and power connections.

The 0717420004 connector requires no special tools for installation, and the addition of guide pins helps to ensure accurate alignment of the boards during insertion. Additionally, the static load tab feature allows for secure attachment of the boards to prevent them from vibrating or being dislodged due to shock or vibration.

The 0717420004 connector also provides superior electrical characteristics and performance, with a contact resistance of 10mΩ, a current carrying capacity of 5A, and contact resistance stability of 5mΩ. The 0717420004 also utilizes a filamentary gold plating with a plating thickness of 30µm, allowing for reliable signal transmission. The 0717420004 is also RoHS compliant, making it an ideal solution for medical, industrial, and consumer applications.
