7-176890-6

Rectangular connectors offer electrical connections between two PCBs, either singly or in multiple rows. Among the many kinds of these connectors available on the market, 7-176890-6 is one of the most commonly used rectangular type of connectors.

The 7-176890-6 is a Straight Socket Header, which offers contact to all twenty pins at the same time. It is a rectangular connector with a robust, durable and solid construction. The board-to-board connector is made of a hard plastic, and it features an array of 20 long metal pins on the face side. These pins are formed to ensure reliable contact engagement and secure locking. The connector is available in a black housing, which increases its mechanical strength and ensures a high level of contact integrity. It also has a long center separator which keeps all contacts apart, and helps to avoid misalignment of the contacts.

The 7-176890-6 is mainly used in a variety of electronic products such as tablets, desktops, laptops, and other such computer products. They are also used in automotive and telecommunication products, as they provide reliable contact between circuit boards or connections between a main circuit board and a display panel. It is also used widely in industrial equipment, electronic test equipments and measuring devices.

The working principle of 7-176890-6 is based on the concept of contact mechanics. It is mainly based on the contact force, contact area and contact resistance. The contact force is responsible for establishing a high contact pressure, which helps to ensure long-term contact retention and a high level of contact integrity. The contact area determines the size of the pads, which increases the contact pressure. The contact resistance is used to reduce the current flow between the surface and contact, preventing electrical arcing or current leakage.

Overall, the 7-176890-6 is a reliable, robust and popular rectangular connector with a long center separator to ensure secure and consistent contact. It is used in a variety of electronic products due to its quick and easy locking mechanism and positive contact retention. The working principle also relies on contact mechanics, which is responsible for providing an effective connection between two PCBs.
