84502-191

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

84502-191 are rectangular connectors used in arrays, edge type, and mezzanine (board to board) applications. These connectors are used for high-speed point-to-point communication in order to connect two printed circuit boards (PCBs).

The 84502-191 has two primary components: the body and the insert. The body is an insulating housing that encloses the insert, which comprises contacts, a ground knife section, and an insulating plate. The contact section accommodates all of the electrical connection contacts between the two PCBs.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 84502-191 can be used in a variety of settings including automotive electronics, communication, industrial electronics, medical, and military applications. It is widely used in signal transmission such as Ethernet, USB, FireWire, and HDMI. This connector is used to connect multiple PCBs in a printed circuit board assembly.

The 84502-191 has two main operating principles: insertion of a mating connector and solder reflow, both of which are used to create the electrical connection between the two PCBs. The insertion principle is used first, and then solder reflow is used to securely fix the connector to the board.

Characteristics

The 84502-191 is designed for high-speed applications that require reliable connection of two PCBs. This connector offers some advantages for those high-speed applications, such as low insertions losses, high-density connectors, and a high current carrying capacity. Additionally, it features a low profile design which allows for a compact, space-saving design.

The connector also has a reliable locking mechanism, which ensures that the connector is fully inserted and secured into the board. It is also designed with an anti-vibration and EMI shielding to prevent noise emission. The outer shield covers the contact section to protect against extraneous signals and meet EMI/RFI emission standards. Lastly, the connector has a wide contact point to provide optimum flexibility.

Conclusion

The 84502-191 is a high-performance rectangular connector used for high-speed applications in arrays, edge type, and mezzanine (board to board) applications. It offers low insertion losses, high-density connectors, a high current carrying capacity, a low profile design, a reliable locking mechanism, and anti-vibration and EMI shielding. These features make the connector reliable for a variety of applications and a reliable choice for your high-speed interconnect needs.
