582561-1

Card Edge Connectors – Housings are electrical connectors, providing a means for connectivity between printed circuit boards (PCBs) and/or other electronic components. The 582561-1 is an example of such a connector, and its application field and working principle shall be examined further.

Application Field

The 582561-1 is designed for applications which require high density contacts. It is composed of a rectangular-shaped card edge connector housing, with a range of 2 to 20 cavities and terminals. The connecting cavity is a closed-bottom design, and the terminals which contact the circuit board are surface mount technology (SMT) terminals, and range in sizes from 02 to 24AWG.

The 582561-1 is able to handle a variety of applications, including automotive, computers, consumer/white goods, industrial, medical equipment, and telecommunications.

Working Principle

The 582561-1 features surface-mount technology (SMT) terminals, which allows the use of highly accurate and repeatable contact force. The terminals are designed specifically for contact force application, and feature good bouncing and constant contacting force. The terminals also provide a reliable connection, ensuring the circuit board and/or pressure point connection are solid and reliable.

The 582561-1 is engineered using a specialized assembly technique, including a highly precise alignment system, insertion accuracy, and repeatability assurance. The self-clinch feature helps wick away heat and maintain stable contact with the circuit board. The housing is made of high temperature, high quality polyester, providing the connector with resistance to mechanical shock, temperature cycling, and other harsh environmental conditions.

Conclusion

The 582561-1 is a card edge connector housing, designed with high density and SMT terminals for a range of applications. The terminals provide accurate and repeatable contact force, while the self-clinch feature aids in wicking away heat and reliable connection stability. The connector is made of high temperature, high quality polyester, providing an excellent level of resistance to standard and harsh environmental conditions.
