167798-1

Backplane Connectors provide electrical connections between circuit boards in a device or system. The 167798-1 Housing is a part of the Backplane Connector system used to provide power and data between PC Boards in various electronic applications.

The 167798-1 Housing is a reliable connection solution for use within many applications such as: wireless communications, data communications, industrial controls, test and measurement, medical instrumentation, military/aerospace, and consumer electronics.

The 167798-1 Housing comes with two mounting styles. The first is a screw-mount design which allows for quick and easy positive mounting on the PC board. The other style is pin and socket mountable, and provides the highest electrical performance with greater contact area (I:C). The 167798-1 Housing also has a smaller footprint than previous models, making it much easier to mount and install.

The key features of the 167798-1 Housing make it a very versatile connection solution: Low profile, high density, interference resistance, dual row signal or power pin connections, pin lengths to meet application needs, tab contact system, tested to withstand 5G vibration, excellent thermal resistance and more.

The 167798-1 Housing with a Krone contact is designed to withstand multiple insertion cycles without reduction in performance. The extra long pins ensure high contact pressure for secure connections, even under mechanical stress. The contact system is designed to ensure low outgassing and good electrical contact in high temperature applications.

In terms of working principle, the 167798-1 Housing is connected by a plug and receptacle system. The plug is inserted into the receptacle and is retained by friction. The connection is made by a pin and socket contact on the plug and receptacle. The pin provides electrical connection between the two parts and the socket provides mechanical strength. The contact pressure is determined by the pin length and is adjustable with the use of different pin lengths.

The 167798-1 Housing is an engineered plug and receptacle system offering the highest electrical and mechanical performance, and is easily integrated into a variety of electronic products that require connections to multiple PC boards. The product offers multiple design options for power and data connections, while also providing a smaller footprint and resistance against shock and vibration.
