KX14-70K8DE

The KX14-70K8DE is a rectangular connector array from Edge Type group amongst the Board to Board Mezzanine section. It is a PCB mounted edge type connector assembly that consists of two PCBs. Each PCB has two connectors (male and female) which are placed on their corresponding designs. The male connector has contacts that are soldered to the PCB and also support the board assembly. The female connector is fixed to the PCB and also supports mounting on the top of the PCBs.

The KX14-70K8DE has a unique feature of its layout. It can be used for different electrical, optical, and communication applications with a typical arrangement of 8 rows and 12 columns. It is available in two versions: the direct B2B (board-to-board) version and the extended B2M (board-to-mezzanine) version. In the extended B2M version, the connector features two rows of male contacts and two rows of female contacts which provide more flexibility for connection.

Application

The KX14-70K8DE array is a suitable connector for various applications including telecoms, medical, automation, instrumentation, datacom and automotive. It is suitable for applications where high temperature and vibration resistance is required and where the signal has to be transmitted with low frequency loss and high integrity, over a wide range of temperatures.

The KX14-70K8DE array also offers excellent environmental characteristics. Its connectors are designed to work in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C, and it is also extremely resistant to shock, vibration, and electrical power surges. The full module surface-mount assembly, in addition to its capability to be installed without requiring additional wiring, also provides good vibration damping, and strong EMC performance.

Working Principle

In order for the KX14-70K8DE array connector to function reliably, the following key principles must be followed:

• Ensure that the connector is correctly installed on the board and the contacts are properly soldered.
• Ensure that the contact load is not exceeded, as it may cause damage or cracking of the connected components.
• Ensure that the signal frequency is within the KX14-70K8DE array connector capabilities.
• Ensure that the board is properly designed to withstand the various environmental conditions.

The KX14-70K8DE is equipped with a secure internal latching mechanism that helps to firmly secure the connector. The internal latching mechanism is designed to ensure maximum contact integrity under challenging environmental conditions. Additionally, it is designed to have self-aligning characteristics, which make it easier for the user to apply connections when under challenging environmental conditions.

Conclusion

The KX14-70K8DE is a suitable rectangular connector array which can be used for a range of applications in various industries such as automation, instrumentation, telecoms, medical, automotive, and datacom. It offers excellent environmental characteristics including resistance to vibration, shock, and electrical power surges. The secure internal latching mechanism ensures maximum contact integrity and the self-aligning properties allows for easy application of connections. It is important to ensure that the contact load is not exceeded and that the signal frequency is within the connector\'s capabilities.
