ERF8-050-03-L-D-RA-L-TR

The ERF8-050-03-L-D-RA-L-TR belongs to a family of rectangular connectors, arrays, edge type, mezzanine (board to board). This family of components is used for various signal-, power-, and data-connection purposes. This particular component is a mezzanine connector that provides 50 contact points on two rows at 0.050” (1.27mm) spacing. It also has a board-stacking height of 0.600” (15.24mm) and an overall width of 0.845” (21.46mm).

The ERF8-050-03-L-D-RA-L-TR connector consists of two components: an array of contacts and a plastic housing. The connector has 50 signal contacts, two rows of 25 contacts each, positioned at 0.050” (1.27mm) centers and a pair of grounding points. The contacts are properly plated with gold, and each one is independently rated up to 3A current and 50V AC/DC voltage. The plastic housing is made of a UL 94V-0 rated polyester material, and it provides reliable stress relief with its metal shell. There is also a detent feature to prevent accidental disengagement.

Application Field and Working Principle

As a mezzanine (board-to-board) connector, this particular component, the ERF8-050-03-L-D-RA-L-TR, is primarily used in various communication applications. Board stacking allows for greater volume capacity without taking up additional space on the board. This makes the component especially well suited for use in products such as computers, cell phones, printers, and many other electronic devices.

The working principle behind the ERF8-050-03-L-D-RA-L-TR connector is fairly straightforward. Power contacts on one board mate up with their counterparts on the second board, forming a unified circuit. The connector’s mezzanine design helps minimize signal loss by providing a uniformly high-quality connection. The durable plastic housing provides reliable strain relief and helps ensure that the component maintains its shape and strength over its lifespan.

The ERF8-050-03-L-D-RA-L-TR connector is relatively inexpensive compared to other components of its type, and it’s extremely versatile as well. The component is also RoHS and Halogen-Free compliant, which makes it an ideal choice for products used in high-density applications where space is at a premium.

Overall, the ERF8-050-03-L-D-RA-L-TR is an excellent choice for a wide variety of communications applications where reliable performance and value are key factors. The component has a durable design, good overall performance, and relatively low total cost, making it a great choice for inexpensive yet reliable connections.
