1658437-1

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

The 1658437-1 is a type of rectangular connector that is mainly used to connect two boards together in a mezzanine platform. The basic design of the connector consists of two sets of right-angled-array contacts, one on each side of the connector. It is designed to fit standard 0.250"-pitch rectangular connector receptacles, such as those commonly found on surface-mount technology (SMT) boards.

The 1658437-1 connector also features solderless latching for easy and secure mating. It is designed to be robust and reliable, with high insertion and withdrawal forces for assurance of a poor connection between the mating parts. It is also rated up to 20 amps for both the current-carrying contacts and the ground contacts.

The working principle of the 1658437-1 connector is quite simple. It is designed to be securely installed on a PCB board via soldering, and once the connector has been installed on both boards, the two sides of the connector can be easily mated and secured in place with the soldering latching mechanism. This securely mates the two boards together and enables an electrical connection to take place.

The 1658437-1 connector can be used in a variety of applications, including power, signal, control, communication, and data transfer. Its ability to securely mate two boards, and its high current-carrying capacity make it suitable for a range of high-end applications, such as data center applications, telecom installations, and industrial control systems.

In summary, the 1658437-1 rectangular connector is a reliable and robust connector that is used to connect two boards together in a mezzanine platform. It is designed to fit standard 0.250"-pitch rectangular connector receptacles, and features solderless latching for easy and secure mating. It is rated up to 20 amps for both the current-carrying contacts and the ground contacts, and can be used in a variety of applications, including power, signal, control, communication, and data transfer.
