1-1658013-2

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

A 1-1658013-2 is a type of rectangular connector array that is typically used to route signals, power, and data between multiple electronic devices on a printed circuit board. As its name suggests, this series of connectors are typically arranged in an array, with multiple contact points arranged in rows and columns. In addition to allowing for multiple connection points, a 1-1658013-2 can also provide increased durability to ensure reliable signal transmission for many years.

A 1-1658013-2 is generally composed of a stamped and formed metal housing, a series of contacts, contact springs, and securing components, such as screws, which are mounted to a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is designed to provide the electrical connection to the contact points of the connector. The contacts may be either pre-assembled or provided as an assembly kit, and some also include terminals for easier installation.

The 1-1658013-2 connectors operate using a two-level, edge-to-edge mating system, which requires the mating board to be secured by the connector\'s housing. This system provides superior electrical contact and connection retention, as well as improved signal integrity due to the increased contact area. The structure of the connectors also provides better tolerance for signal and power transmission compared to conventional single-contact systems. Furthermore, the contacts of the 1-1658013-2 are designed to be capable of carrying up to 30A of current.

The 1-1658013-2 connectors can be used as both an edge-type, mezzanine-style connector, and as a through-hole type. In edge-type applications, the connector mates to the edge of the printed circuit board, and in through-hole applications, the connector is inserted into the board. Both types of connections may also be configured to accommodate multiple printed circuit boards, allowing for a single connector to provide power, signal, and data transmission for many different devices.

The 1-1658013-2 series of connectors are typically designed with a small form factor, making them well-suited for use in a variety of applications, including embedded systems and multi-board systems. They are also available in both standard and custom configurations, with contact counts ranging from 64 to 432 and row spacing options from 0.1mm to 0.55mm. The robust design of the connectors also makes them well-suited for high vibration and shock applications.

The 1-1658013-2 connectors are an ideal solution for many applications, and their two-level edge-to-edge mating system provides superior electrical and connection retention compared to traditional single-contact systems. Their small form factor and robust construction make them an excellent choice for many embedded, multi-board, and high-vibration applications.
