79107-0007

Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 79107-0007 is a low profile, two-part polarized rectangular connector with a robust design and reliable connectivity features. Its male counterpart is referred to as a header while the female counterpart is referred to as a receptacle or a female socket.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 79107-0007 is a connector system used to support board-to-board, cable-to-board, cable-to-cable, and other circuit interconnects and is suitable for a wide range of applications. It can be used in the automotive, industrial, consumer and computing industries for linking printed circuit board assemblies, and can be utilized for connecting various components for efficient operation.

The working principle of the 79107-0007 connector involves two mating components, the header and receptacle, which are both comprised of metal pins as well as plastic frames. The pin and socket contacts are held firmly within the frame using a robust retention mechanism. However, the retention mechanism must be manually attached for the connecting to the receptacle.

When the header is moved into the receptacle, the wall of the receptacle pressed firmly against the wall of the header to create a strong and durable connection. The connection is further enhanced thanks to the use of keying tabs which ensure that the header is only placed into the receptacle in the correct orientation. It is also worth noting that the pins used in this connector have a narrow-pitch configuration that maximizes reliability and performance.

Design and Technical Specifications

The 79107-0007 is an efficient and reliable 2-part connector system with a diverse range of design and technical specifications. The design of this connector features a rectangular profile and a low profile height that ensures that the overall size of the connector is kept to a minimum, saving space and total cost of ownership. It also boasts an incredibly high retention force over 100N and features two keying options, a two-point keying for dedicated but interchangeable mating as well as a four-point keying for preferentially non-interchangeable mating situations.

The electrical specifications of the 79107-0007 are equally impressive, boasting a volumetric resistance of 1×10-8 ohm and a surge voltage of 250V, which is ideally suited for signals up to 5Gbps. It also has a signal transmission rate of 80Ω, a current rating of 6A and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Conclusion

In summary, the 79107-0007 is a robust, low profile two-part connector system that is suitable for a wide range of industrial, automotive, consumer and computing applications. Its low profile design and reliable retention force makes it an ideal solution for efficient interconnects while its electrical and design specifications make it a great choice for board-to-board, cable-to-board and cable-to-cable applications.
