84513-201 Application Field and Working Principle

The 84513-201 is a rectangular connector array, edge type, mezzanine board-to-board interconnect system, often referred to as a “clevis type connector”. This industry standard connector is widely used for interconnect applications in harsh environment, where data transmission and protection are essential for reliable operation. This connector is part of Molex’s extensive EdgeLock product family.

Features and Benefits

The 84513-201 connector system provides significant benefits in comparison to other similar products. The following are a few key advantages:

• Durability – The 84513-201 is capable of maintaining a connection in extreme environments, including water, UV, and shock & vibration. This is due to the system’s locking mechanism, which helps retain the connection securely.
• High performance – The system is designed to achieve a fast, reliable connection between two boards. The connector is capable of supporting higher current than other connector types, enabling the user to connect higher power components.
• Cost Effective – The 84513-201 system is designed to be cost-effective with an optimal design for a low number of components and a short assembly time.

Basic Design

The 84513-201 rectangular connector array is composed of three main elements:

• Cable plug – This is a sprung loaded unit with a series of contacts on one side which connects to the mating board
• Housing – This is a plastic body with a transfer postionm at each end holding the contacts in position
• Locking latch – This holds the two units together in a permanent connection

The 84513-201 system is designed so that the cable plug, housing and locking latch can be disconnected by pressing the catches on the side of the unit. This allows for quick and simple repairs and maintenance, without the need to sold or unsolder the wires.

Working Principle

The 84513-201 connector system is based on a proven contact system known as "EdgeLock". This contact system uses a metal “contact head” which is inserted into a flexible metal “target”, which itself is connected to a pair of contacts on the cable plug. The contact head is then pushed into the target contact, creating a secure connection.

The connection is secured by the action of the spring-loaded locking latch, which locks the two parts together. This provides a secure, high-performance connection which is capable of withstanding shocks, vibration and other environmental factors.

Conclusion

The 84513-201 connector system provides an efficient and reliable solution for connecting boards in harsh environments. The system’s durable construction and secure connection mean that the 84513-201 is suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive to industrial.
