423-017-520-102

Card Edge Connector Accessories are a type of connector designed to be to mounted directly onto a printed circuit board or other mounting surface to allow two or more electrical circuits to be connected. The application field and working principle of the 423-017-520-102 specify how this type of connector can be used for a wide range of electrical connections.

Connector Type

The 423-017-520-102 is a type of Card Edge Connector known as a socket or a header. This type of connector consists of a basic plastic body that is pre-wired with multiple metal contacts. The main components of the connector can be divided into two parts: the housing which holds the contacts in place, and the terminal block which consists of the connector pins, washers, and other parts.

The external faces of the plastic body are typically flat or molded with a particular pattern and are used to attach the connector to the board or surface. This allows for the connector to easily fit into a slot on a printed circuit board, or be screwed down from above.

Applications

Card Edge Connector Accessories are designed for a wide range of applications. One of the most popular uses of these connectors is in computer and peripheral connections. The 423-017-520-102 is designed to fit directly onto the PCI Express card slot of a computer, allowing for the rapid connection of multiple electronic devices.

This type of connector is also widely used in the development of electronics and robotics. By utilizing small and lightweight connectors, manufacturers are able to create smaller and more efficient devices. These connectors can also be used in a wide range of industrial and medical applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the Card Edge Connector is based on creating a mechanically and electrically sound interconnection between two devices. In this case, the connector is designed to allow electric contact between the two devices, while also providing a stable support structure.

The contact between the two devices is established by inserting the pins of the connector into the slotted recesses of the board, inserting the two metal connectors into the holes around the slots, and sliding the plastic body of the connector onto the board. When in place, the metal contacts ensure an electrical connection is made between the two devices. Additionally, the plastic body of the connector ensures a secure and stable connection.

The 423-017-520-102 is a versatile connector designed for a wide range of electrical connection applications. Its reliable contact system ensures that electrical signals can be reliably transferred between two devices, and its design makes it easy to quickly fit onto boards and surfaces. This type of connector is widely used in both industrial and computer applications, and its reliable design makes it a popular choice for a variety of applications.
