61083-084102

The 61083-084102 is a type of rectangular connectors defined in Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board) category. It is usually used for internal PCB connections.

Application Field:

The 61083-084102 connectors comprise of two 20-pin connector systems that are mated via a single pair of board-to-board interface. It is designed to combine common components and configurations for edge-card type connectors that are capable of forming contact with two mating connectors. It offers a simple and efficient method of interconnection between high-density boards in the PCB assembly.

The 61083-084102 connector is commonly used in telecommunication applications, medical equipment, certain space applications, and COT (course-on-Technology) scalability products. Besides, it is an ideal choice for internal connection in computer systems and other digital equipment like DVD players, TVs, digital set-top boxes and digital cameras.

Working Principle:

The 61083-084102 facilitates the connection between two boards via the edge-card type connectors. It is featured with two 12-position connectors that are mated by a single pair of board-to-board interface. They come in a compact, low profile design that minimizes space consumption, while it also offers a reliable electrical interconnection between the mating connectors.

These connectors offer a simple and convenient method of absorbing stress which is generated from any misalignment during mating. The two connectors of the 61083-084102 are held in position either by a mechanical latch which prevents the connectors to be separated or by a plastic lock mechanical system. The mechanical latching, or the plastic locks reduce the risk of accidental un-mating and ensure reliable contact to the mating connectors.

Moreover, the gold-plated contacts, which is the main component of the 61083-084102, provides lasting electrical performance and reliable connections even in extreme temperatures or high humidity environments. Furthermore, its special contact design offers a self-alignment mechanism which enables it to accommodate for misalignment during the mating process.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the 61083-084102 connectors is a reliable interconnection solution that is designed to reduce the complexities and cost of time consuming design. It is used in a wide range of applications including the medical and the telecommunication sector, and is an ideal choice for the internal PCB connection in digital equipment. With its gold-plated contacts, and a plastic lock/mechanical latching system, it promises reliable contact across the connection along with its efficient design.
