KX14-50K2D-RE

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

Overview

The KX14-50K2D-RE is a rectangular edge board-to-board (mezzanine) interconnect designed for use in a wide array of applications in tight spaces. It features an array of 50 impedance-matched contacts with a 4mm contact pitch which provides a dependable connection between circuits while using minimal space. The KX14-50K2D-RE is rated in both UL & VDE certifications.

Application Field and Working Principle

The KX14-50K2D-RE is suitable for applications where space is limited. Its 4mm contact pitch provides for tight fit while its array of 50 contacts allow for a reliable and dependable connection between circuits. It is beneficial in momentary power connections and in applications requiring zero-defect connections. The most common applications of the KX14-50K2D-RE are in Telecom, Automotive, and Industrial markets.

The KX14-50K2D-RE uses a four point contact system which helps ensure a reliable connection to the circuit board. The connector has two pieces which contain contacts (connector terminals) that mate when pressed together - the housing and plunger. The connector has 50 contact terminals each of which have a two pronged design. The plunger is used to activate the contacts when inserted into the housing. One prong is used to make contact with the circuit board while the other is used to make contact with a tab contact terminal in the housing. The contacts are spring loaded and held in place by the plunger. When the plunger is inserted, it pushes against the terminal, activating the contacts.

In addition to the four point contact system, the KX14-50K2D-RE has a ground at one of the corners which provides additional shielding and protection from electrical noise. When the connector is not in use, the plunger can be locked in place, preventing the connector from unintended disassembly. The KX14-50K2D-RE is designed for both low-density and mid-density circuit boards and is rated up to 300V and is IP67 rated.

Benefits

The KX14-50K2D-RE offers several benefits to its users. The four point contact system ensures a reliable connection to the circuit board. The contact array provides for more connections than most other connectors with the same contact pitch. It also helps reduce signal crosstalk. The use of the ground corner adds shielding and protection from electrical noise. Its design makes it perfect for applications where space is limited. Finally, its UL & VDE certifications mean it is safe for use in a wide array of applications.
