91615-316

Rectangular connectors - headers, receptacles, female sockets - have a variety of uses in diverse industries due to their secure connections, cost efficiency, and easy integration. The 91615-316 rectangular connector is a widely used and versatile option for any application. This article will provide an overview of the 91615-316 connectors characteristics, application field, and working principles.

Characteristics

The 91615-316 connector has a top-mount configuration with the male pins terminating to the top of the female receptacle. Each connector has a 2mm square, 26 pin design with a mating cycle life of 500 operations. In addition, the 91615-316 connectors is an unterminated board-to-board connector, with no current overload protection.

Application Field

The 91615-316 connector is used in a variety of industries, from industrial automation to telecoms and networking equipment, as well as military and aerospace. They are ideal for light and medium-duty applications and are most often used in rack-mounted equipment enclosures requiring rugged connections. In industrial automation, they are used for motor control, HVAC equipment, railroads, and automation control systems.

Working Principle

The 91615-316 connector is designed with two boards of contacts, with pins on the top board engaging with corresponding receptacles on the bottom board. This provides an electrical connection between the two boards, and the pins and receptacles are self-aligning, providing a secure and efficient connection. This connection is further stabilized by a spring-lock mechanism that pushes the two boards together.

The 91615-316 connector has a 9.2mm pitch, enabling it to fit into tighter spaces. The contact material is gold plated, and the PCB board is a 3.3mm FR4 type. The connector also has a current rating of 1A, 50V DC, and is suitable for a working temperature range between -25°C and +85°C.

The 91615-316 connector is an excellent option for medium and light-duty applications thanks to its wide range of characteristics, such as its secure connection, cost efficiency, and easy integration. It is widely used in a variety of industries, making it an invaluable part of the modern day industrial world.
