1-174953-1

Rectangular connectors are commonly used in electronic systems due to their versatility. Generally, they consist of header (male) and receptacle (female) parts, which join two or more circuits together. Headers, Male Pins, commonly referred to as edge-type connectors, are primarily used when two signals need to be connected together. Edge-type connectors have two parts: a header and a receptacle. The header part, which is usually mounted on the PCB, is composed of male pins, which must mate with the female receptacle part to create the connection.

The 1-174953-1 edge-type connector is a 68-position connector, and its application field lies in networking and computing, medical diagnostic equipment, industrial automation, avionics, and military applications. It has a straightforward but effective working mechanism.

The header part of the 1-174953-1 connector consists of 68 male pins that are arranged in two rows. These pins fit integrated in the female receptacle part, thus establishing electrical and mechanical connections at the wire-to-board interface. The Male Pins are made of corrosion resistant materials and are designed in accordance with the RoHS and VDE standards. The 1-174953-1 male pins are robust and resistant to vibrations and shock even in harsh environments, making them suitable for network-ing and computing, medical diagnostic equipment, industrial automation, avionics, and military applications that need high reliability connection.

The 1-174953-1 connector also has a shrouded version. This version eliminates the need for polarizing keying which ensures error-free mating and improves the noise margin of the connector pair due to its 360-degree shielding. This version is also compatible with automated insertion processes.

Generally, the 1-174953-1 is a fixed-pin connector, which means that it follows a one-piece insertion-and-extraction design. In this type of design, the header and receptacle part cannot be separated. To facilitate the insert-able and removal process of the connector, some electronic systems incorporate a floating spring mechanism. This mechanism applies a constant tension onto the connector, ensuring an automated locking and unlocking mechanism.

In summary, the 1-174953-1 connector is an edge-type connector, which is commonly used in electronics systems such as networking and computing, medical diagnostic equipment, industrial automation, avionics, and military applications. It consists of a header part which is composed of 68 male pins and a receptacle part, which is designed to fit the male pins. Male pins are designed to be robust and corrosion resistant. According to the application, the connector also has a shrouded version, which offers a higher noise margin and compatibility with automated insertion processes. The connector follows a one-piece insertion-and-extraction system and has a floating spring mechanism to aid the insertion and removal process.
