84513-191LF

The 84513-191LF by Samtec is a rectangular connector array and is part of the Edge Rate series which belongs to the product category known as board-to-board edge type connectors. It is a 22-position connector that offers an array of 1.27mm (.050”) centerline and a 12.80mm X 5.08mm (.505” X .200”) footprint. It utilizes two board stack heights of 2.00mm (.0787”) and 2.54mm (.1”) for applications with high speed signal integrity requirements. Following the SATA III standard, it utilizes a signal rate of 6 Gbps, with a data channel of 24 pins in a bi-directional configuration.

The pin layout of the 84513-191LF is arranged in two rows of 11 positions. The lead length of each pin is .5mm (.020”). Its insulation body is rated up to UL 94V-0 which is among the highest UL standards for operating temperature and fire resistance rating.

The delved design of the edge type connector has an improved contact retention for superior mating and quick connect and disconnect operations. Hemostatic sleeves made of UL certified Nickel-Silver alloy are used as contacts for the 84513-191LF connector array. These sleeves ensure a secure connection that is both corrosion and heat resistance.

The design of 84513-191LF connector makes it suitable for large equipment such as routers and switches as well as multiple small form factor devices such as external hard drives, media players, and mobile devices. Its ability to transfer data quickly and its compact design makes it widely used in consumer electronics, medical, industrial, and automotive applications.

The working principle of the 84513-191LF lies in its ability to efficiently transfer data between two board connections using two rows of 11 contacts through a bi-directional configuration. Contact retention is immediate upon insertion and the ability of its hemostatic sleeves to retain contact even after continuous use makes its a robust and reliable connector. The edge-rate design uses a reduced number of conductors to save space and yet provides superior transmission speed. In order to ensure superior signal integrity, the 84513-191LF utilizes both board stack heights to improve connector performance.

The 84513-191LF connector is overall a small and compact design but yet highly efficient in data transmission and high speed signal integrity. Its array design and hemostatic sleeves ensure durability and reliability while the edge-rate data transfer improves upon efficiency. The combination of these features makes the 84513-191LF a suitable connector for a variety of applications.
