65494-014

Rectangular Connectors - Board In, Direct Wire to Board have been specifically designed for applications that require high density, reliability and a small form factor. The 65494-014 connector is designed to meet the precise needs of such applications. It provides considerable advantages over other types of connectors, with its important features and robust construction.

The 65494-014 is a board-mountable and direct wire-to-board connector. The contact system allows two boards to be mated together, in a cost-effective solution. The male connector component is board mounted to one board via a thru-hole design whilst the female connector component is wire arranged and teed up to provide the required secure connection for two boards. The contact system is held together via a crimped strain relief sleeve, which provides strength and additional retention when mating is completed.

The 65494-014 is designed for reliability and secure mating. The insert is machined from brass and plated with gold to provide superior electrical capabilities and contact reliability. The female contact comes with a teed up configuration, which ensures secure mating of the two halves. The contact system is designed in quadrants to give greater contact reliability and to reduce any misalignments when mating. The contact system also allows for blind mating, removing the need for a manual peeling back of the two mating headers.

In terms of applications, the 65494-014 can be used in a plethora of industries and markets including, but not limited to, medical and industrial applications, aerospace and military, as well as motorsports. Its automotive grade construction and compact nature mean it is suitable for numerous applications.

In terms of the 65494-014’s working principle, the two contact systems are mated together, with the male contact system fixed to the PC board. The female contact system is crimped to the cable, and then mated with the male contact. The contact systems then lock together via the key groove arrangement, providing a secure and reliable connection point.

The 65494-014 connector boasts a myriad of advantages, making it suitable for a variety of applications. Its gold plating, superior contact system and blind mate performance means it can provide robust and reliable connections in the harshest and toughest environments. The 65494-014 is the answer for applications that require reliable, high density and small form factor connections.
