What are the key features of M55-7023242R?

  • Phosphor bronze male contacts provide excellent spring resilience and long-term contact force retention for reliable board connections
  • Tin with nickel barrier termination finish improves solderability and prevents tin-whisker growth for long-term PCB reliability
  • 0.064-0.072 inch hole mounting range accommodates standard PCB drill tolerances without precision drilling requirements
  • 1 inch body length with YTEOL of 9 years supports long-lifecycle industrial and defense program qualification needs

What is M55-7023242R used for?

M55-7023242R is used in through-hole board-to-board and backplane connector applications where phosphor bronze contacts provide reliable spring force and durable mechanical mating in demanding environments. It is well suited for industrial control systems, defense electronics, and telecommunications equipment requiring a proven through-hole board connector with long product lifecycle support. Its tin-nickel barrier termination ensures robust solder joints in wave-soldered PCB assemblies used in harsh-environment applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does M55-7023242R use phosphor bronze for its contacts and how does that benefit long-term connector performance?

Phosphor bronze is chosen for M55-7023242R contacts because it offers high spring resilience and excellent elastic memory, maintaining consistent contact force over thousands of mating cycles without permanent deformation. This material property ensures stable electrical contact resistance throughout the connector's service life, making it preferable to brass contacts in applications subject to repeated mating or mechanical vibration in industrial and defense environments.

What PCB hole size does M55-7023242R require and how does this affect PCB design tolerance planning?

M55-7023242R is designed for board holes in the 0.064 to 0.072 inch range, which corresponds to a standard PCB drill size that most board fabricators can hold within normal tolerance. This hole size range provides enough clearance to accommodate typical drill wander while still ensuring adequate through-hole contact engagement, simplifying PCB design rules and avoiding the need for tight-tolerance drilling specifications.

How does the YTEOL of 9 years for M55-7023242R support defense and industrial program lifecycle requirements?

The 9-year Years To End Of Life (YTEOL) rating for M55-7023242R gives program managers confidence that Harwin will continue to manufacture and supply this connector for at least 9 years, reducing the risk of mid-program obsolescence. For defense and industrial programs with 5-to-8 year production runs followed by sustainment phases, a 9-year YTEOL provides sufficient margin to source M55-7023242R without requiring a costly connector redesign during the program lifecycle.

For a wave-soldered industrial backplane, how does M55-7023242R's tin-nickel barrier termination compare to bare tin alternatives?

M55-7023242R's tin-with-nickel-barrier termination is superior to bare tin in wave-soldered backplane applications because the nickel barrier layer prevents tin diffusion into the phosphor bronze contact material, which can degrade solderability over time in storage. The nickel barrier also inhibits tin-whisker formation, which is a reliability concern in lead-free assemblies, making M55-7023242R a safer choice for long-life industrial backplane designs using RoHS-compliant soldering processes.
