87606-316

Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets – have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially in applications requiring low- profile, robust connectors. The 87606-316 card edge connector is a great example of such a product. Used in a variety of settings, 87606-316 is renowned for its small size and reliable performance.

The 87606-316 was designed to be a reliable board-to-board interconnect solution, allowing for up to 20 pins to be soldered, routed, or crimped onto a PCB. It contains two rows of connections, arranged with a 2mm pitch, enabling up to 10 pins per row. It features both horizontal and vertical styles – whatever works best for a given application.

The 87606-316 is made up of two separate parts – a male header and a female socket (receptacle). The header has two rows of pins which interface with a board or cable. The receptacle then pairs with the header, connecting the two separate components when installed. Both the header and the receptacle have integral locking latches to ensure a secure fit, and are made from a UL94V-0 rated thermoplastic blend.

The 87606-316 also has several different solder termination styles, allowing users to customize which type of soldering process they use for the connector, based on application and cost considerations. Common processes include plastic or metal soldering, surface mount, and through-hole soldering. Some applications also require soldering directly onto the traces of the PCB, which 87606-316 can easily accommodate.

The 87606-316 card edge connector has several advantages over other rectangular connectors. It is much smaller than its competitors, measuring only 6.4mm in height when mated together – making it ideal for applications with limited space, while still maintaining a reliable electrical connection. Additionally, the 87606-316 has a higher power handling specification than most competitors, and provides an impressive 20A/pin rating. This is due to a combination of its superior contact materials and enhanced pin shape design.

The 87606-316 is also extremely versatile in its applications, and can be used to connect components and devices in a wide range of industries. Common uses include network equipment, computer peripherals, test and measurement equipment, medical equipment, and equipment used in industrial automation. With its high current and voltage ratings, and rugged construction, the 87606-316 card edge connector is well-suited for industrial environments which require reliable and robust electrical connections.

The 87606-316 card edge connector is a great example of a low-profile, reliable Rectangular Connector. Its durable construction, wide range of options, and small size, make it an ideal choice for many applications. The 87606-316 also features a variety of solder termination styles, allowing it to be used in many different scenarios. Its flexible design, high current and voltage ratings, and rugged construction make the 87606-316 ideal for industrial environments, where reliable connections are key.
