KX15-70NLNL

The KX15-70NLNL is a multipoint, mezzanine type, edge mount connector from Molex. It is an economically priced, vertical, mid-size array connector. This connector has more than 60 points of contact, in which 28+S1 and 28+S2 are the main signal contacts. The contacts are arranged in two-line, alternating 1.27mm spacing strips. The mating connector has two rows of staggered alignments, allowing for more even dispersion of pressure between contacts.

The KX15-70NLNL rectangular array is designed to stay securely in place during the assembly process. This is achieved with the four mounting points per connector that incorporate Molex’s Lok-Latch retention system. This system includes a latch that slips over the board, holding it securely in place in any mounting direction.

The KX15-70NLNL has two types of terminals: TAB (Terminal Area Bond) for surface mounting and box header for edge board mounting. The terminals are made of phosphor bronze with gold-plated contacts. They are designed to be easily soldered and assembled, reducing assembly time and costs. Additionally, the terminals come with an anticorrosion finish that helps ensure reliable connections.

The KX15-70NLNL soldering method is equivalent to that of through-hole components; as a result, its assembly is more reliable than surface mounting. This method also ensures the electrical and mechanical performance of the connector. Given its reliable design and performance, the KX15-70NLNL is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including networking, communications, consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial control.

The working principle of the KX15-70NLNL is based on press-fit technology. The four mounting points of the connector are designed to fit into the board, making contact with the metalized through-holes used for soldering TABs and box headers. The lever-lock latch on the connector ensures a secure fit into the board. In addition, a locking bar on the mating connector can be used to prevent accidental disconnection during mating and unmating.

In conclusion, the KX15-70NLNL is a robust and reliable mezzanine type, edge mount connector that is suitable for a wide variety of applications. It has an economical price, is easy to assemble, and offers high reliability with its press-fit technology and its locking bar.
