84578-192

Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board) are specified as 84578-192. These connectors are widely used in numerous electronic applications as they are self-locking, non-jammed and dust-resistant. The two main components of a rectangular connector are the mating tab and receptacle.

Mating Tab: Mating tab establishes the electrical connection between a device’s circuitry, or Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and a device that will house it. It typically consists of a set of plastic parts, with male and female parts that fit together to form the electrical connection.

Receptacle: This component is used to secure the male part of the rectangular connector. It is typically made of two pieces of plastic, with a small metal clasp or latch attached.

Working Principle: A rectangular connector works on the principle of connecting two devices through electrical contact. The electrical current passes through the metal tabs on the male part of the rectangular connector and is then transmitted across to the female part, creating an electrical connection between the two devices.

Application Fields: Rectangular connectors are used in numerous electronic applications including, communication and data transmission systems, power supplies, industrial control panels, mechanical automation equipment, gaming systems, medical devices, home electronics, and consumer electronics. Rectangular connectors are often used in radio communication systems and telecom applications as they offer low insertion and withdrawal forces, are easy to install and provide excellent dust protection. Furthermore, they are suitable for use in harsh environments due to their high-reliability, durability and cost-effectiveness.

Conclusion: 84578-192 rectangular connectors are one of the most widely used and versatile connector types available, due to their small form factor, robustness, and dust protection capabilities. They are suitable for a variety of applications including communication and data transmission systems, power supplies, industrial control panels, and gaming systems.
