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

The AXF6A5012A is a board-to-board connection type rectangular connector manufactured by AVX. It is designed for connection between two printed circuit boards with different pin counts and can easily accommodate a multitude of features and functions. Using the AXF6A5012A array style, the same pins can be used for data, power, ground and control signals in a single connector. It has robust technology and is applicable in a wide variety of industries and applications.

Application Field

The AXF6A5012A connector is used in mostly high-speed applications where data transmission needs to be secure and reliable. The connector is excellent for industrial digital TV, servers and communication equipment. Further, it can be used for industrial medical equipment, device testing, emergency equipment and other applications with strict requirements for speed, quality and reliability.

Working Principle

The AXF6A5012A array edge type connector is a multirow type with 12 contacts in five different sizes and arrangements. This provides an excellent solution for interconnecting boards with different pin counts. The design limits mating possibilities for opposite mating parts, assuring secure connection. The AXF6A5012A connector also has surface mount technology which securely attaches the mating parts to the PCB. The solder tail features a “round tongue” shape to reduce solder clearance terrain still avoiding soldering bridging.

The end surface is treated by a corrosion-resistant Ni-Au finish. The contact is made using gold and the circuit is protected during the board hot oven process. The gold plating gives the AXF6A5012A the perfect blend of connection reliability, speed and durability. The connector is rated at 160VAC and 1A max.

Conclusion

The AXF6A5012A is a board-to-board connection type rectangular connector designed for connection between two printed circuit boards with different pin counts. It is mostly suitable for high-speed applications such as industrial digital TV, servers and communication equipment. The connectors versatile design allows it to be used for a variety of purposes, from industrial medical equipment to emergency equipment. The AXF6A5012A has a Ni-Au finish on the end surface and contacts made using gold, making it highly reliable and durable.
