767140-3

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

The 767140-3 connectors are a series of rectangular connectors that fall into the categories of arrays, edge type and mezzanine (board to board). They are especially well-suited for many industrial applications, and the various types of rectangular connectors make them quite popular as well.

Application Field

The 767140-3 connectors find wide application in many different areas due to their small size, flexibility, and reliability. Examples of some of the industries in which the 767140-3 connectors are used include automotive, aerospace, communications, medical, industrial machinery, consumer electronics, and many others. These are the primary sectors in which the connectors are used due to the high-level performance offered by these connectors.

Working Principle

The 767140-3 connectors are composed of a series of contact points, usually pins, that establish a mechanical and electrical connection between two devices. Generally, each end of the connector features a distinct set of pins that join to corresponding pins on the opposing end. Upon mating, these pins are compressed, thus creating a secure connection. The number and arrangement of pins varies depending on the device being connected, but the principle for all 767140-3 is the same.

The size and shape of the connector also varies slightly depending on the specific applications. These differences are largely cosmetically driven, but do affect how the connectors are utilized in some cases. Generally, the flat, rectangular form of the 767140-3 connectors makes them easy to fit into many devices and enables versatility in design, allowing for a broad range of configurations.

In some cases, the 767140-3 connectors feature locking mechanisms to ensure that the connection is secure. These mechanisms typically involve a latch or locking post that must be released to separate the two ends. This provides a fool-proof connection and eliminates the potential for accidental disconnection. Additionally, some connectors also include a seal or boot to provide additional protection from dust or other environmental factors.

Overall, the 767140-3 series of rectangular connectors provide a secure and reliable connection between two devices. The various types of connectors in the series offer a wide range of applications and enable flexibility in design. Additionally, the locking mechanisms and optional seals provide additional assurance that the connection is secure. The 767140-3 connectors offer an ideal solution for many industrial and commercial applications.
