ERF8-040-05.0-S-DV-K-TR Connectors, Interconnects

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

The ERF8-040-05.0-S-DV-K-TR is designed as a rectangular type connector with an array edge type, and it is a mezzanine (board to board) type of connector. It is a single row configuration with staggered pin rows and mounting holes. This mezzanine connector is well suited for applications in tough mechanical and thermal environments, where package size is critical and needs to be reduced, or connections of high complexity, yet in a small form factor.

Application field

ERF8-040-05.0-S-DV-K-TR features an efficient design that fits into space-constrained applications. It is an ideal product for a broad range of applications in a variety of different industries, from factory automation to consumer, medical, and automotive.

• Factory automation – Control cabinet, PLC, measuring instruments
• Consumer electronics – Mobile phone, digital audio-video products, consumer electronics appliances, etc.
• Medical – Medical instruments, patient monitoring, etc.
• Automotive – Automotive Head Unit, backup camera, parking sensor, etc.

Working principle

The ERF8-040-05.0-S-DV-K-TR is a mezzanine connection system which allows two printed circuit boards to be mated in a staggered pin row configuration. The system includes mating connectors, a board to board latch which features dual rows of latching tabs as well as stand-off posts for board separation.

The connector includes two side-by-side housings with polarizing features for misalignment prevention. The male version with the insulator has integral latch retaining clips that lock into the top of the corresponding female cavity for secure mating. The dielectric insulator separates the opposing contacts to ensure no electrical connection between the two circuit boards. The outer casing is neutral burning, meaning the circuit is kept open in cases of overload.

The mezzanine type Board-to-Board connector offers a high density contact system with a simple front-to-back mating action, as well as an anti-mismatch mechanism for easy maintenance and assembly. The double row tabs latching system promotes secure connections even under the harshest environments.

Conclusion

The ERF8-040-05.0-S-DV-K-TR is an innovative, high performance mezzanine connector designed for industrial use in challenging environments. It brings together both rugged mechanical and reliable electrical performance, and it is perfectly suited for applications such as factory automation, consumer electronics, medical instruments and automotive components.
