2-966658-2

Introduction

2-966658-2 is a standard rectangular terminal connector with a total of 30 terminals and is peripheral part of the Amp Metro-Link series. It is composed of a plug strip (header) and a panel strip vertical mounting (male pin) which serves as the connection mechanism that makes electrical contact when mated together.

Application Field

It\'s mainly used in card-edge connectors in a wide range of applications. Most of these applications involve power circuit and signal connection. It is also used in industrial, automotive, appliance, consumer, and computer hardware products. With the reliable contact-making performance and water/dust resistant, it is also well-suited for harsh environments.

Working Principle

It has a compact design with an extremely low profile. 2 row terminals are both 0.64mm square post which increase contact area for reliable contact-making performance. The insertion/withdrawal force meets current standard requirements and the self-cleaning contact is available for long service life. To ensure the mating performance, the high-precision-molded housing is provided to guarantee mating accuracy. The gold-plated terminals ensure superior electrical performance in applications where signal integrity is critical.

Conclusion

2-966658-2 is a standard rectangular terminal connector with reliable contact-making performance which is suitable for harsh environment applications. With its low profile design, it is commonly used in card-edge PCB connectors. It features a self-cleaning contact which provides reliable contact-making performance with high-precision-molded housing ensuring mating accuracy. Gold-plated terminals enable superior electrical performance signal integrity.
