DF17(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(57)

The DF17 (4.0)-30DP-0.5V (57) is a type of mezzanine, or board-to-board, array rectangular connector, which offers low-profile, edge-type connections between one and many individual PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). The DF17 (4.0)-30DP-0.5V (57) is designed to easily provide secure electrical and mechanical connections while requiring minimal space and power, making it perfect for use in everything from telecom applications to consumer electronics.

As is typical of most mezzanine connectors, the DF17 (4.0)-30DP-0.5V (57) features a female housing, also known as a connector base, with two rows of up to thirty pins arranged in side-by-side rows. This configuration allows for power signal to be quickly and easily passed between two PCBs, with a single row allowing for one-way signal while two rows allow for bidirectional signal. Additionally, the connector base houses a latch on the downward side of the second row, which allows the user to securely lock the two boards together.

Additionally, the DF17 (4.0)-30DP-0.5V (57) connector features a 0.5mm pitch between rows in order to provide maximum flexibility when mounting the PCBs. This is especially useful in applications where space is at a premium, as the connection can easily be adjusted in order to provide more room for other components. Further, with a voltage rating of 30 Volts, the connector is suitable for a wide variety of high-voltage applications.

In terms of operation, the DF17 (4.0)-30DP-0.5V (57) board-to-board, array rectangular connector functions in much the same way as any other mezzanine connector: The two sides of the connector opposite the latch are inserted into the appropriate recesses on the PCB, ensuring that the pins are properly aligned between the two boards. From there, the latch is fastened, securing the two boards together and allowing power to flow between them.

Once the connector is installed, it provides secure, low-profile connections between the two boards without requiring too much space or power. This makes the DF17 (4.0)-30DP-0.5V (57) an ideal choice for applications ranging from telecommunications systems to consumer gadgets. And with its 0.5mm pitch between the rows, it allows for greater flexibility when mounting the PCBs in tight spaces.
