87439-1400

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Rectangular connectors of 87439-1400 are typically used in electronic applications including communications and computation systems. These connectors can be applied to a wide range of density and signal mixing boards, multi-channel amplifiers, backplanes and other circuit boards in applications that demand reliable and secure interconnections. The connectors provide a modular solution which is easy to use at a lower cost than individual single-piece components.

Features of 87439-1400 Connectors

The 87439-1400 rectangular connectors have a number of features that make them highly attractive for a variety of applications. They are designed with a double-ended shell design with 50 pins on each end, each having a 10-pin contact, 5-pin contact, and 3-pin contact respectively. The 87439-1400 connectors also feature an aluminum-based alloy material construction, gold or nickel finishes, and a straight-through latching system.

Working Principle of 87439-1400 Connectors

The 87439-1400 connectors use a locking system in the contact system. The inner shell of the connector contains a spring-loaded latch which connects with the main body of the connector when a mating connector is inserted. The latch securely locks and retains the connector and prevents it from becoming loose. The contact of the connector is connected to the mating connector by the insertion of pins into the respective contact slots. At the same time, the contact points of the connector are soldered on the mating connector\'s board and secured with a locking ring.

Installation and Maintenance

Due to the spring-loaded latch, the 87439-1400 connectors are highly reliable and may require no maintenance to retain the tight connection. The connector is relatively easy to install in an electronic application, with few tools or specific hardware being necessary. The engagement of the locking system is easy to achieve, and so can be done quickly by the installer, making it convenient for regular maintenance and replacement.
