74213-192

The 74213-192 rectangular connectors are one of the most used family of board-to-board interconnects. It is part of the Array, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board) connector family and its connector housing has a square footprint with two rows. The 74213-192 rectangular connectors are highly reliable due to its robust, double-row, low-profile design which provides a maximum 8mm board-to-board spacing. It\'s integrated bellows and latch feature make it even more reliable and can be fitted into countless applications due to its versatility.

The 74213-192 connectors are widely used in applications which require physical connectivity between two electrical or electronic circuits. These connectors possess the space-saving profile and smaller board-to-board spacing which makes them most suitable for applications with limited space. They are deployed in a wide variety of applications, some such examples are communication and NIC cards, switches, routers, home networking, embedded systems, remote monitoring, etc.

The working principle of the 74213-192 rectangular connectors is quite simple yet effective. It is similar to most other board-to-board interconnects which basically consist of two or more parts. The male part is the plug which contains conductive pins or receptacles and the female part is the receptacle which houses the complementary conductive elements which will mate with the plug. It is this simple but reliable electrical connectivity which these connectors make possible.

To ensure a reliable electrical connection, the 74213-192 rectangular connectors feature a robust and double-row design. This design has two rows of contacts with an average of 2.54 contact positions per row which helps to provide more power transmission and improved signal integrity. It also allows for a larger variety of contacts - ranging from 10 to 80 pins per connector. To further improve the reliability of the connection the standard version of these connectors feature Positive Locking which ensures the male and female parts remain fixed when connected.

The 74213-192 rectangular connectors are made from a variety of materials, such as copper alloy, copper alloy plated with gold, and brass plated with gold. They are also available in multiple contact pin sizes such as 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, and 0.4 mm. Additionally, they are also UL and CSA rated, compliant with RoHS and Reach standards, and are resistant to corrosion and Shock/Vibration. These connectors are further tested for performance at temperatures ranging from -40 to +105°C and have been found to be highly reliable in extreme environments.

In short, the 74213-192 rectangular connectors are highly reliable and versatile interconnects which find broad applications in communication and networking systems, embedded systems, and dozens of other applications. They feature a robust double-row design, Positive Locking, UL and CSA ratings, and high performance at extreme temperatures making them most suitable for any application requiring reliable electrical connections.
