61083-141402LF Connectors, Interconnects

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

Rectangular connectors are typically used in a variety of applications, including computers, aerospace, and industrial, and usually incorporate a variety of physical and electrical connections to enable various functionalities. One such example is the 61083-141402LF (61 Series), which is a low-profile, Type IV single-row, Edge Type connector. This particular type of connector is used to interconnect two circuit boards/PCBs at a right angle to one another, primarily through header pins.

Application Field

In terms of application field, the 61083-141402LF Edge Type connector is utilized mainly for applications involving very small dimensional space. It has a low profile design of 4.6mm height, making it ideal in situations in which there are space limitations, and its compliant pin connections provide secure connections over a wide spectrum of operating temperatures. It is well suited for applications involving internal/external networking connections, computers, computer peripherals, industrial, and various other types of electronics.

Working Principle

The 61083-141402LF Edge Type connector is a single-row, 22-position design that requires two parts which interconnect at a right angle. One part consists of header pins, while the mating component is a pin receptacle arranged in a single-row with two rows of 22 pins situated opposite each other. The mating mate consists of two faces. The first face is a plated interface which is designed to make contact with the header\'s pins. The second face is a solder-blocked contact, which receives the solder and makes a firm connection. When mated with a header connector, the 61083-141402LF functions as a reliable bridge, enabling secured electrical connections between the two circuit boards.

The 61083-141402LF is designed around a polarized pin arrangement, which helps prevent assembly mistakes with the mating connectors. In addition, its low-profile design helps maintain a significantly smaller circuit board footprint, allowing more components to be implemented in a confined environment. This is especially useful for applications involving networking and computer peripherals, where space is a critical factor. The connector’s plastic housing ensures a safe and secure electrical connection and its spring-force connection secures a stable and reliable mating. The connector also features latch locking mechanism with an audible click, so users can be assured that the connection is secure.

Overall, the 61083-141402LF Edge Type connector is suitable for applications with space restrictions, and its low-profile design and secure electrical connections make it ideal for connecting two different circuit boards.
