3-5177986-3 Connectors, Interconnects

Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board) applications are designed to provide a reliable electrical connection in a variety of environments and applications. These connectors come in many forms, from large 2 to 4 pin connectors, through arrays containing multiple pins, to small 0.1mm pitch connector arrays. The 3-5177986-3 is a two-pin array of rectangular connectors that are commonly used in board-to-board applications.

The 3-5177986-3 connectors are made from a thick-walled insulated plastic material that is very durable and able to stand up to harsh environmental conditions. They feature a wide range of functions and features, such as reversible contacts for ease of installation, secure connection retention, and a variety of contact sizes to accommodate different application requirements. The connectors are also corrosion-resistant and UL/CSA approved.

The connector consists of two parts: A male portion, with one or more pins depending on the specific type, and a female portion. The male portion has two small tabs which fit into corresponding slots in the female portion. The pins on the male portion also fit into the corresponding holes in the female portion, and the two parts are then snapped together to create a secure connection. The connectors feature an electrical keying system that prevents incorrect connections or mismatched mating, as well as a spring-loaded friction lock to ensure a solid connection. The contact surfaces determined in the male and female portion of the connector must match in order for the connector to be properly mated.

The keying system on the 3-5177986-3 connector is a two-step process. First, the female portion has two different contact sizes, one to fit the large male connector pin and one for the smaller one. This ensures that the correct connection is made. Secondly, a locking tab is included on the male portion and the female portion of the connector. A pin on the male portion locks into the tab, securing the connection.

The 3-5177986-3 has many applications in which it can be used, including industrial, commercial, and automotive applications. These connectors are suitable for use in a variety of conditions, including high-vibration, high-temperature, and dust-prone environments. They are perfect for a variety of board-to-board applications, such as data transfers, signal routing, and power delivery.

These connectors are reliable and easy to use, making them a great choice for many applications. They are available in a variety of pin configurations and contact sizes, giving users the flexibility to choose the perfect configuration for their application. The keying system makes the 3-5177986-3 a secure and reliable connection for many board-to-board applications.
