2178713-6 Connectors, Interconnects

Rectangular Connectors, or Board In, Direct Wire to Board (2178713-6), are a type of electrical connectors commonly used on circuit boards. The connectors are rectangular in shape and can be used to link two circuit boards, in either parallel or perpendicular orientation. The connectors are designed to provide a secure electrical connection, and to maintain the integrity of the circuit’s electrical circuitry.

The rectangular connector uses three contact points on each side of the connector, one to make contact with the target board, and two to keep the circuit protection in place. These contact points are usually steel pins, which are embedded in the foam material that is part of the connector\'s body. This foam material also provides insulation after the connector has been installed on the board.

The insertion of the rectangular connector into the board is done through the use of a latch arm mechanism. This is a cleverly designed mechanism that ensures that the connector is inserted the correct way every time. The arm has two parts; one part is held by the chip’s holder frame, and the other part is pulled up by the latch arm until it engages the contact point of the target board. This ensures the connector is inserted into the correct slot on the board each time, and prevents accidental damage to the board by incorrect insertion.

The working principle of the rectangular connector is quite simple. When two circuit boards come into contact, they create electrical current between them. The current flows through the circular pins of the connector, providing a steady and uninterrupted connection between the two boards. This prevents the circuit from getting overloaded, as the connection will spread the current evenly across the contact points.

These connectors are widely used in many industries, including the automotive, telecommunications, and aerospace industries. They are cost-effective, and easy to install and maintain. They come with a variety of sizes and shapes, to accommodate different boards and requirements.

The 2178713-6 Rectangular Connectors are a great choice for many applications. They provide a reliable and secure connection between two circuit boards, and are easy to install. They are highly resistant to wear and corrosion, making them an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
