Rectangular connectors are easily recognizable by their right-angle housings and are commonly used for applications such as consumer electronics, automotive, telecommunications, medical, instrumentation, industrial automation and more. The 76342-416LF is a header and receptacle electromechanical interconnection system, which is used to transmit power or data in various applications. This article looks at the application field and working principle of 76342-416LF connectors.

Application Field

The 76342-416LF is a header and receptacle interconnection system, which features Tin plated contacts, high power and signal double-row board-to-board board-to-board solutions. It is widely used in applications such as consumer electronics, communications, medical, military and industrial automation. The connectors are compatible with a wide variety of printed circuit board materials and feature a low stack-height design.

The low-profile, board-to-board and board-to-cable 76342-416LF connectors provide robust mating retention, secure connections, improved vibration response and lower mating force for board-to-board and board-to-cable applications. The connectors offer a wide range of configurations and mounting options, including SMT, cable-to-board, board-to-board, board-to-cable, and dual-in-line (DIP) configurations.

Working Principle

The 76342-416LF connectors consist of a male and a female part, each with two rows of gold-plated contacts. The two parts are mated by pushing them together, until they are snapped into place. When mated, the contacts in the female part connect with the corresponding contacts in the male part. The number of contacts can vary from two to eight and the range of mating cycles is typically between 10 and 100.

The 76342-416LF connectors provide secure, low-profile, and vibration-resistant connections for board-to-board and board-to-cable applications. The connectors are designed with a low-profile design, allowing them to fit in tight spaces. Additionally, they are designed for multiple wire and cable types, allowing for increased flexibility and cost savings. The contacts are accurately guided and retained, which reduces the chance of mating errors and ensures reliable connection.

The 76342-416LF connectors offer a wide range of benefits such as low contact resistance, low electrical noise, and high-speed data transfer rates. In addition, the connectors have a low profile and are resistant to vibration, a valuable asset in mobile and handheld applications.

Conclusion

The 76342-416LF connectors are high-performance, high-quality, cost-saving connector solutions. Having a low profile and a wide range of configurations, the connectors are suitable for a variety of applications ranging from consumer electronics, telecommunications, instrumentation, medical, and military to industrial automation. The connectors provide reliable connections and are designed with accurate retention for multiple wire types and cables. Overall, they are an ideal choice for connecting power or data in various applications.
