582383-9

The 582383-9 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors represents a breakthrough in miniaturization for Card Edge Connectors - Housings, delivering full-featured connectivity in space-constrained applications. This micro-connector housing enables next-generation portable electronics designs without compromising reliability.Optimized for Non Specified - Dual Edge configurations, the housing's zero-insertion-force (ZIF) design prevents damage to delicate flex circuits during frequent mating cycles.Despite its compact footprint, the 18 variant maintains proper creepage and clearance distances for safety-rated medical and wearable applications.Accommodating 0.055" ~ 0.070" (1.40mm ~ 1.78mm) ultra-thin cards, the housing's low-profile design enables integration in sub-3mm thick consumer electronic devices.The 0.156" (3.96mm) micro-pitch arrangement supports high-density interconnects while preventing solder bridging during reflow processes with fine-pitch components.The Flange implementation includes dust-proof shutters that automatically protect contacts when unmated in portable electronics exposed to harsh environments.The Panel Mount configuration enables direct soldering to rigid-flex PCBs, eliminating the need for secondary mounting hardware in ultra-compact designs.The Natural housing material is formulated for biocompatibility, making it suitable for implantable medical devices and skin-contact wearable applications.Incorporating Top Mount Opening, Unthreaded, 0.156" (3.96mm) Dia, the design provides positive tactile feedback for blind mating operations in handheld diagnostic equipment.Utilizing Polyamide (PA), Nylon, the housing achieves exceptional chemical resistance against sterilization fluids and bodily fluids in medical environments.
