767139-1

Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

The 767139-1 connectors are rectangular connectors that are primarily used for applications in the industrial, medical, automation, mil/aerospace, and communication markets. It is a board-to-board connector with mezzanine type contacts and insulation displacement press-fit contacts, and is rated up to 13.0 amps. It has a wide range of available design features, including body materials, contact materials, contact board options, and a large variety of shell types. This type of connector is commonly used for strong, yet compact, connections.

Design

The 767139-1 connector is usually constructed out of strong dielectric polyester, which is more durable than the standard polyamide or polyurethane elastomers. The array of contacts are made from beryllium copper and stainless steel, with gold plating. It has options for four 7mm mounting holes on the top of the housing, as well as two integral guides to ensure proper mating. It also features a contact retention area to secure contact pins in the housing, in order to prevent strain on the contact pins during operation.

Application Field

The 767139-1 connectors are mainly used for applications in the industrial, medical, automation, mil/aerospace, and communication markets. It has been used for projects that have exacting requirements for secure connections, such as in medical devices and in the aviation industry. Because of its resistant to wear and tear, this connector is also suitable for harsh environments, and is used often in the automotive industry. Furthermore, because it has a wide range of design options available, it can easily fit into virtually any application.

Working Principle

In its simplest form, the 767139-1 connector works by connecting two circuit boards together. The locking mechanism is designed to fit the contacts securely and leaves just enough room to insert the mating contact. The contacts are then compressed to make an electrical connection between the two connected pins. The contact retention area ensures that the pins are protected from stress during the mating process. Furthermore, the integrated guide features on the housing allows the mating components to be aligned correctly.

Conclusion

The 767139-1 connector is a reliable and versatile solution for connecting circuit boards. It’s strong dielectric housing and contact materials make it suitable for a range of applications, from industrial to mil/aerospace. It has a wide variety of design features available, including body materials, contact materials, contact board options, and a large variety of shell types. This makes it easy to fit into most applications.
