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

Rectangular connectors are a type of electronic connector, such as a header, that is typically rectangular in shape, with multiple connections that allows for the connection of multiple electronic components. Rectangular connectors are typically interactive and can be used to form arrays, edge type or mezzanine (board to board) connections.

91910-22541 Application Field and Working Principle

91910-22541 is a geometric type of rectangular connectors that have arrays, edge type and mezzanine (board to board) connectivity capabilities. It is a high quality and high performance product that uses surface mounting technology to increase resistance to shock and vibration and enhance reliability. It is designed for use in applications where space saving and ruggedness are priorities, such as military, aerospace, networking, automotive, and telecommunications.

The working principle of the 91910-22541 rectangular connectors is based on the board to board connections. Mezzanine connectors are a form of multiple row, long-span, high-density board-to-board interconnect technology that allows for the stacking of printed circuit boards. The 91910-22541 rectangular connectors are designed to provide mechanical support as well as reliable electrical connections between two PCBs. It utilizes a unique two-layer termination system wherein one layer functions as a soldering surface while the other supports the solder joint.

This is compared to edge-type rectangular connectors, which are a form of single row, short-span, low to medium density board-to-board interconnect technology. Edge-type connectors are designed to provide reliable electrical connections between two PCBs while using a relatively small space. Unlike mezzanine connectors, they do not provide mechanical support and their electrical connections are made by soldering a pin or lead to the edge of a PCB.

In addition to its board to board connectivity capabilities, the 91910-22541 can also be used in arrays. Array connectors are a form of multiple row, long-span, low to medium density board-to-board interconnect technology that allows for the interconnection of multiple proteins or passive components. An array connector utilizes an optimized pin out to optimize signal flow with low insertion force while at the same time providing high reliability connections due to its unique crimp terminals and ergonomic isolation-style contacts. The 91910-22541 array connector is equipped with a locking mechanism that not only provides an audible and tactile feedback for successful mating but also prevents movement of the connector.

Overall, the 91910-22541 rectangular connector provides an array, edge type, and mezzanine (board to board) interconnectivity solution that is reliable and space-saving. Its unique termination system ensures secure electrical connections and its various configurations allow for a wide array of potential applications.
