4-5353184-0

A 4-5353184-0 rectangular connector is an array edge-type board-to-board mezzanine connector used to connect multiple electrical circuits in order to reduce the electrical noise during transmission. It has four rows and eighteen contacts, which provides a reliable connection. The mechanical keying prevents the wrong connection while the combination of two keying inserts and partially-shrouded contacts ensures proper mating.

The 4-5353184-0 connector has versatile applications in a variety of settings as it is suitable for high-speed transmission in restrictive applications ranging from telecom to computing and computer peripherals. It is also used in servers and networking applications such as PRO-1000 LAN, routers, switches, multiplexers and HUBs. The 4-5353184-0 connector is also commonly used in audio and video equipment, medical devices and LED display signs.

The working principle of the 4-5353184-0 rectangular connector is that the electrical connection is established through a simple insertion which contacts a dual set of four rows of contacts. The contacts are partially shrouded and prevent wrong mating by a mechanical keying. The connection is further secured into place by a latch mechanism which provides a tactile feedback and audible click when the connector is fully mated.

The connector also features a unique offset mating design which enables the four connectors to be inserted in a staggered pattern within the same board space. This optimizes PCB space and provides low profile dimension with increased trace length ensuring reliable signal integrity. The 4-5353184-0 connector also features high dielectric resistance to insure against high voltage contact between adjacent connectors which eliminates EMI or signal cross-talk.

In summary, the 4-5353184-0 rectangular connector is a high-speed, low profile array edge-type, board-to-board mezzanine connector. This type of connector is used in a wide range of applications in telecom, computers, audio and video equipment, medical devices and LED display boards. The connector features four rows and eighteen contacts which makes it suitable for high-speed transmission. Furthermore, the unique offset mating design and mechanical keying prevents wrong mating and ensures the connection between the two boards is secured.
