56600-401

Rectangular connectors, also known as board-to-board, are widely used for the connection of two PCBs or one PCB with a wire harness. Of them, the 56600-401 rectangular connector is designed for high-speed signal transmission for mid-board and mezzanine applications.

The 56600-401 is a high-speed signal transmission connector with different row numbers and a varied-length interface. It is composed of metal contact parts (contacts and contact pins), insulative parts (plastic holders and covers), and metallic parts (clamping clips and D-Codes). The clamping clip and D-Code are used for connection between the contact pin and the PCB board. The plastic component maintains the position and the overall grip of the contact pins, and can be customized for different applications.

The connector has a typical working principle that involves contact pin insertion and removal for connection and removal of the connector. The central plastic holder resides continuously in a casing, and when the central plastic component is inserted, the casing compresses due to the constriction of the contact pins. This in turn causes the holding pins to push the clamping clips into the PCB board.

A contact pin is added and/or removed from the connector unit for connection and removal. The connectors work efficiently due to the properly cased contacts of the insert-pin. With contact pin insertion and removal, the D-Code, which is the key feature of the connector, can be connected and disconnected from the PCB board. The contacts also allow for proper connection, current, and voltage stability.

The 56600-401 connector is versatile and suitable for a variety of applications, such as automotive, medical, communication, datacom, consumer electronics, networking, robotics, and industrial electronics. It is designed to provide up to 25 Gb/s data transmission, and is suitable for a variety of high-speed signals and power supply voltages. The contact pins are gold-plated to prevent corrosion, and the pins are made from highly durable plastic and metal for a longer service life.

In conclusion, the 56600-401 connector is a versatile and reliable rectangular connector, designed for high-speed signal transmission. It has a varied-length interface, a contact pin insertion and removal design, and is suitable for a variety of applications. It is an inexpensive, highly reliable connection method.
