Rectangular connectors - arrays, edge type, mezzanine (board to board) are used in a variety of applications ranging from being the most popular connector for data processing, signal transmission and I/O interfaces to being used in transportation, aerospace, manufacturing, telecommunications and medical equipment. They are well known for their ability to carry high data rates making them suitable for industrial and consumer electronics which use wireless communications. The two major types of rectangular connectors; arrays and edge type have different features, advantages, and disadvantages while being used in the same applications.

Arrays are composed of a series of individual metal components. These components, each with its own separate wire, are connected together by a method known as crimping. In most cases, crimping is done with the appropriate crimp application tool. Arrays enable higher data rates and faster switching. This makes them suitable for applications such as Ethernet where higher data rates are needed. They also have the ability to support a wide range of transceiver modules. The main disadvantage of array connectors is that it is only applicable with a limited number of applications.

Edge type connectors are similar to arrays, however, instead of individual components that are crimped together, these connectors feature edge contact technology. The edge contacts are formed into a stepped formation, so that when the two pieces of the connector are mated they create a secure contact. Edge-type connectors enable higher data rates and faster switching. This makes them suitable for applications involving, Ethernet, SATA, and other computer buses. The main disadvantage of edge type connectors is their size, as they are significantly larger than comparable array connectors.

Mezzanine connectors, also known as board-to-board connectors, are used to connect two printed circuit boards in an electronic device. They are much smaller than both array and edge type connectors and offer improved electrical performance. The main features of mezzanine connectors include easy wiring of two circuit boards that are parallel to each other and are stacked on top of another. They also offer improved signal integrity and enable high levels of thermal dissipation. These features make these connectors suitable for applications such as routers, switches, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics. The main disadvantage of mezzanine connectors is that their small size limits their ability to carry large amounts of current.

In conclusion, rectangular connectors are a versatile technology that can be used in a wide variety of applications. By understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each type, designers can select the appropriate connector for their application needs. Application field and working principle depend largely on the type of connector used, but in general, they enable data transmission, communication and electrical connections across any distance.
