54363-0678

Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

The 54363-0678 is a type of edge connector, commonly referred to as a mezzanine connector. It is part of the larger group of rectangular connectors, which encompasses a wide variety of connector types. These connectors are typically used for connecting circuit boards, either to themselves or to other types of electronic components.

Application Field

The 54363-0678 can be used in a wide variety of applications including:

• Cellular phones
• Computers
• Consumer electronics
• Instrumentation equipment
• Medical devices
• Routers and switches
• Server hardware
• Telecommunications equipment

These connectors are commonly used in applications where for high-density interconnects that require a “board to board” connection. The 54363-0678 is specifically designed for such applications, offering a superior signal integrity and a reliable electrical connection.

Working Principle

The 54363-0678 mezzanine connector is a two-part connector which consists of two boards that are orthogonally mated. The first board is typically an array of male connectors, while the second board is a female connector board. The male board mates with the female board by sliding two slots into each other and the two boards are locked into place when they are mated.

The connectors then electrically connect when high pressure contacts located inside the connector grip the terminals of the boards. The terminals are either crimp contacts for stranded conductors or solder cups for solid wire. The 54363-0678 is a type of edge connector, so it is typically mated from the side rather than the top or bottom.

The 54363-0678 connector is designed with the latest technology in order to provide reliable, low-loss signal transmission, allowing for extended operational temperature ranges while maintaining a compact form factor. It is designed to be highly resistant to vibration and shock, making it suitable for harsh environment applications.

Conclusion

The 54363-0678 edge connector is a versatile mezzanine connector that offers high-density connectivity, excellent signal integrity, and superior reliability. Due to its wide range of applications, it can be used in a variety of industries, from cellular phones to instrumentation electronics. It’s designed for high-density interconnects that require a board-to-board connection, offering advanced features such as extended operational temperature ranges and resistance to vibrations and shocks.
