7-1761616-0

The 7-1761616-0 rectangular connector is an array edge type mezzanine connector which is primarily used in board to board connections. Broadly, the 7-1761616-0 connector is used for connecting printed circuits boards in many different applications. One key use is in the telecoms sector for digital signal transmission. This is mainly because the 7-1761616-0 rectangular connector has a very low insertion loss meaning that there is minimal signal degradation.

The 7-1761616-0 connector has an operating pressure range of 5-20 kgf and a current rating of 3 amps. It provides reliable signal transmission in challenging environments with a wide temperature range as it is able to operate over temperatures ranging from -55 degrees Celsius to +105 degrees Celsius. Heat-resistance up to 200 degrees Celsius is also possible for short exposure and for installation in thermally hostile environments. The 7-1761616-0 is highly reliable with approximately 500 insertions and also a minimum of 0.1 millimetres misalignment resistance.

The 7-1761616-0 connector is highly versatile as it is compatible with both a variety of card sizes (0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm) and a range of activities including board to board stacking, serial memory cards, and general electrical connection. It is compatible with a broad range of materials including copper, alloy, and aluminium and helps reduce the number of components needed for board-to-board connections as it is both economical and robust. In addition, its combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and power retention make it very reliable in mission critical applications.

The 7-1761616-0 connector uses a standard form factor which enables easy installation and low cost stock management. It is packaged in a two-part thermoplastic (UL94V-0 rating)and has a low profile design which allows it to fit in a variety of places.The durable construction and narrow connection pitch provide vibration and shock resistance and enable the 7-1761616-0 to provide a reliable and durable connection.

The 7-1761616-0 connectors have a number of key mechanical working principles for making board-to-board connections. Firstly, the connector’s separate latch and contact sections enable easy board installation of the contact pin section which so that connection can be made more quickly. The metal pawls on the connector then make a superior connection when mated and they maintain the connection for a secure fit. The connector design also includes a friction locking system which helps ensure the connection is made at the correct pressure. The locking system also helps protect against any unexpected detachment or misalignment.

To summarise, the 7-1761616-0 is a rectangular array edge type mezzanine connector which is predominantly used in board to board connections. It is suited to demanding applications as it has a broad operating pressure range, wide temperature range and can resist up to 500 insertions. Its versatile design allows it to make connections with a variety of board and material types in addition to providing reliable connections in challenging environments. Its standard form factor and low profile design further enhance its versatility and suitability for a wide range of applications. Finally, the 7-1761616-0 connector has a number of important working principles which make installation easy and ensure secure connections can be made quickly and reliably.
