414165 – ERNI

The ERNI 414165 designates a housing base component within the ERNI LDG-A (Low Density Grid Array) connector system. This base, typically molded from a high-temperature thermoplastic such as PA46 or similar, provides the structural foundation for the LDG-A connector assembly. The 414165 part number specifically refers to the housing base only, excluding any contacts or mating components. Critical specifications include overall dimensions, material flammability rating (typically UL94 V-0), operating temperature range (generally -55°C to +125°C, dependent on material), and pin pitch compatibility within the LDG-A standard. The housing base incorporates features for secure mounting to a PCB, often including through-hole mounting points or surface-mount pads. It also provides polarization features to ensure correct mating orientation with compatible LDG-A connector halves, preventing mis-insertion and potential damage.
