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

Rectangular connectors are a fundamental category within Connectors and Interconnects, designed to establish reliable electrical and mechanical connections between printed circuit boards (PCBs), modules, or systems. Specifically, this subcategory focuses on Arrays, Edge Type, and Mezzanine (Board-to-Board) connectors, which are engineered to support high-density, high-performance applications in industries such as telecommunications, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.

Types of Rectangular Connectors in This Category:
1. Array Connectors: Featuring multiple contact points in a grid pattern, these connectors ensure robust, space-efficient connections for complex PCB layouts.
2. Edge Type Connectors: Designed to mate with the edge of a PCB, these connectors facilitate quick and secure connections, often used in memory modules and expansion cards.
3. Mezzanine Connectors (Board-to-Board): These compact, high-speed connectors enable vertical or parallel stacking of PCBs, optimizing space while maintaining signal integrity in advanced electronic assemblies.

Purchasing Recommendations:
- Pin Count and Pitch: Match the connector s pin configuration and pitch (e.g., 0.5mm, 1.27mm) to your PCB design requirements.
- Current and Voltage Ratings: Ensure the connector meets the electrical demands of your application to avoid performance issues.
- Durability and Material: Select connectors with robust housings (e.g., high-temperature plastics, metal shielding) for harsh environments.
- Compliance Standards: Verify certifications (e.g., UL, IEC) to guarantee safety and compatibility.

Investing in the right rectangular connector ensures seamless integration, reduced downtime, and long-term reliability for your electronic systems. Explore our curated selection to find the ideal solution for your board-to-board connectivity needs.
