69154-332LF

Rectangular Connectors are used to mechanically and electrically join two or more components. These connectors come in numerous configurations that offer different amount of contact points, sizes, and mechanical styles. Various applications demand different connectors to meet their operations requirement. Among the countless configurations, 69154-332LF rectangular connector is a board-to-board connector widely used for lots of applications due to its reliability and performance. This article will discuss the applications and working principle of 69154-332LF connectors.

Application of 69154-332LF Connectors

The 69154-332LF is a surface-mountable board-to-board connector with two rows. It is designed with 6.00 mm centerline, 1mm pitch, 6.50 mm profile, 8 contacts, and with gold plated contacts. Its reliable contacts and a broad range routing options make it very suitable for densely populated PCBs or other low-profile applications. Both versions, the male (header) and female (receptacle) offer 510 mating cycle durability. Even when mated, the male side is designed in a way that it does not occupy too much height like regular connectors, making it perfect for embedded applications.

This connector is increasingly becoming a popular choice in lot of consumer electronics, such as portable sound systems, medical devices, LED lighting, etc. Many automotive and aerospace manufacturers also use the 69154-332LF due to its ruggedness and robustness. In most applications, the connector can easily accommodate up to 8 signals while being predominantly used in low speed data transfer & signal routing applications.

Working Principle of 69154-332LF Connectors

These board-to-board connectors are designed as a way to allow two circuit boards to be interconnected together. It is designed in a way that when connected, all the contact points on the male side juxtapose with the same contact points of the female side, forming a connection between them. A spring-loaded guided act perspective is used to for the mated connection. The force between two contacts is evenly distributed with minor pressure on each contact for better reliability.

The design of 69154-332LF is done keeping in mind the need of space constrain certain applications. That is why, it is small in size and offers a low profile of 6.50 mm, which allows engineers to maintain a predictable surface profile while connected. The small pitch of 1 mm allows the connector to accommodate multiple signals and fit in tightest of boards.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 69154-332LF is a miniature, robust and reliable connector choice for a wide range of applications such as consumer electronics, automotive engineering, lighting and telecom. It offers 8 contact points and can fit into tight profile boards. The connector is designed with a spring-loaded act perspective that ensures adequate matingbetween the two sides while distributing force evenly and avoiding any contact damage.
