Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

Rectangular connectors are some of the most common on the market, used in numerous applications for modular boards, actuating mechanisms, and electronic devices. In particular, 91900-21369 rectangular connectors are widely used for industrial and instrumentation applications on four- and eight-pole systems, enabling quick and easy connection.

The 91900-21369 rectangular connectors are designed for reliable mating and high impact resistance, and feature copper alloy contacts to provide a highly reliable connection. Two standard versions, Edge Type and Mezzanine Board to Board (B2B) are available, although custom adaptations can also be created upon request.

Array Connectors

The 91900-21369 edge-type array connectors are two-pole power or signal connectors, with four to eight contacts available. They offer a range of key features and benefits, including ease of mounting and field serviceability, stable environment-resistance, and reducing wiring harness load.

The array connector consists of a front, edge-mountable, electrical connection with twin lead pins on a 6.6 mm pitch, which are easy to install using an edge-connector assembly tool. Quick assembly is enabled by the board-level locking latch arrangement, and forced pair method in which one crimpable connector is used to connect two wires.

Mezzanine Board to Board Connectors

The 91900-21369 Mezzanine Board to Board connectors provide a cost effective, quick-connect solution for modular boards. They are designed to connect boards with varying thicknesses or heights at a level above board level, offering the same features and benefits as edge-type array connectors, with the addition of a high degree of flexibility.

These connectors feature a partial-load bearing, range of environmental protection, and a secure mating system that prevents system reliability and data signal integrity. They have highly reliable contact design, special gendered housing that helps prevent mis-application, and low insertion force keying that ensures a uniform locking.

Working Principle

91900-21369 rectangular connectors work by creating an electrical connection between two or more points which are either in contact or in close proximity. The connection is normally created through a mechanical force which squeezes the two elements of an electrical connection together, creating an electrical bond between them.

The electrical connection is made up of two halves: a female and a male part. The female part is typically two halves with a hole in the middle connected to a conductor, while the male part is two thin strips of conductive material which fit into the female’s hole. The two strips are attached and these two pieces of metal are to become joined together, creating an electrical bond.

The process of joining these two pieces of metal together is made possible by the presence of an electrical current which passes through the two pieces of metal. The current causes the metal to expand and contract, allowing the pieces to slide together to create the connection.

This connection is secure and reliable, and is designed to provide a reliable and consistent connection. This connection also helps to prevent corrosion and oxidation of the metal, ensuring that the connection is reliable and secure in the long term.
