120530-1

Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board) include a wide range of connector styles and sizes to solve design challenges with ease. The arrays feature multiple contacts in one unit, allowing greater signal capacity while conserving space. Edge connectors offer a low cost alternative for less densely populated boards, and mezzanine connectors enable data to pass between two boards horizontally, stacking both boards into a single unit.

120530-1 Application Field and Working Principle

The 120530-1 is a rectangular connector such as the array, edge type, or mezzanine (board to board). This particular connector is made with a compliant pin contact system that meets various industry standards. It is suitable for use in various fields such as power, signal, and data transmission applications in electronic products.

The 120530-1 connector has a simple design consisting of a plastic stand-off and contact block that contains compliant pins that are pre-loaded with a contact retention spring. The spring maintains the contact between the pins and the mating surface, while the stand-off provides stability and ensures a correct mating depth. A plastic outer shell caps the pins and provides strain relief for the wires that may be soldered to the compliant pins.

The compliant pins are typically employed for applications that require a blind mating surface, meaning the two surfaces are not visible to one another. This is due to the compliant pin allowing the three contact points, which include the contact retention mechanism on the contact block and the mating surface, to be mated without alignment restrictions. This allows for a simpler and less expensive design, as well as higher signal integrity.

The 120530-1 is designed for use in electrical applications such as Ethernet, audio/video, and USB. It is commonly used in cell phone, car audio, and consumer audio/video products. The 120530-1’s high temperature and high current rating make it suitable for use in power supply applications such as DC/DC converters or power supplies.

The 120530-1 is designed to endure harsh industrial environments such as high shock, vibration, and temperature extremes. In addition to providing excellent mechanical and electrical performance, 120530-1 connectors also provide a locking mechanism that securely mates the two connecting devices. This prevents accidental disconnection of the two devices.

In summary, the 120530-1 is a high-performance connector designed for power, signal, and data transmission applications. It offers versatility and flexibility with its unique compliant pin design, as well as improved signal integrity and a secure locking mechanism. These features make it an ideal choice for various industries.
