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

A type 5767117-1 application field is an arrangement of electrical connectors used to connect two printed circuit boards, or PCBs, as part of a larger electronics system. Edge-located connectors of these types are used to bridge the gaps between mated PCBs, either side-by-side or side-by-back. Rectangular connectors are also often used in board-to-board applications, including the mezzanine connector type. This type of connector is frequently found in communications and telecommunications equipment, as well as in automotive controllers, medical equipment, and consumer electronics.

The 5767117-1 type edge-mounted connector consists of two principal parts: a plastic housing with integrated contacts, pins, and sockets, and a flexible metal strip that is soldered onto the underside of the base retainer. The metal strip helps to keep the connector in place. The flexible component also helps keep the contact forces even and prevents any shifting of the mated boards in the event of vibrations or extreme temperatures.Edge-mounted connectors of this type are designed to bridge the gaps between two PCBs, facilitating the flow of data between the two boards.

When mated, the contact elements of the 5767117-1 type connector physically join the two PCBs. This connection allows low-voltage signals pass between the boards, with minimal interference from external forces. Due to their design, the connector can easily be installed on both sides of the PCB. Once installed, the two boards can easily be coupled and decoupled, allowing the system to be quickly rewritten, replaced, or upgraded.

The 5767117-1 edge-mounted connector is constructed out of robust materials like strong epoxy resins, robust metals, and polymers. These materials are engineered to stand up to frequent mations, vibrations, and temperature changes. Due to their versatile nature, connectors like the 5767117-1 can be used for applications ranging from audio signals and data transmission to power transmission and signal integrity.

When selecting edge-mounted connectors for your application, it’s important to consider the number of contact positions, the power requirements, the expected usage frequencies, and the environmental conditions the connector will be exposed to. Selecting the right type of connector is essential to performing reliable data transfer and achieving the desired system performance.
