AXT510224

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

AXT510224 is a type of rectangular connector array from Molex, a leading manufacturer of electronic connectors. It is designed for use in printed circuit boards and in Mezzanine card applications such as blade server and storage systems. This type of rectangular connector array features a male and female terminal array on one side and a mating board connector on the other.

Application Field

AXT510224 is suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as circuit board and Blade server applications, PC storage applications, and communications equipment etc. A particular advantage of this connector is that it is capable of high-speed operation, meaning that it can support data transfer rates of up to 25 Gbps. As such, the AXT510224 is ideal for applications where high speed performance or large capacity needs are required.

Working Principle

The AXT510224 rectangular connector array is constructed from two circular connectors, with each connector featuring a number of pointed conductive contacts. These contacts are arranged in an array, with a male contact on one side of the connector and a female contact on the other side. The connector includes an insulation layer, which keeps the contacts separated and ensures an uninterrupted electrical connection between them. The insulation layer also serves to separate the male and female connectors, thus ensuring that accidental contact and shorts are prevented.

When the rectangular connector array is in use, the male and female connectors are mated to create a complete electrical circuit. The connection is secured by either wire-wrap or Surface Mount Technology (SMT), with the latter providing a more reliable connection. The conductive contacts on the connecting are then connected to the component’s circuitry, creating a complete electrical connection.

In addition to creating an electrical connection, the AXT510224 also provides strain relief. This means that it is able to absorb any external force applied to the connector, such as vibration from the equipment or mechanical shocks. This reduces the risk of the connection becoming loose or damaged while in use, thus providing a longer-lasting connection.

Conclusion

The Molex AXT510224 is a type of rectangular connector array designed for use in printed circuit boards and in Mezzanine card applications. It is suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as circuit board and blade server applications, PC storage applications, and communications equipment. It is capable of high-speed operation and is able to absorb external forces applied to the connector, providing a longer-lasting connection.
