HFBR-2416MZ

The metal port option for the HFBR-14xxMZ/2416MZ Series gives designers the ability to have a metal connector receptacle with the familiar HFBR-14xxZ/2416Z dual inline package (DIP). The metal port option components have an internal electrical connection between the metal port and the four grounding pins, as shown in the package outline drawing. Signal ground is separate from the four grounding pins to give flexibility in connecting the port to signal or chassis ground.
This feature aids in maintaining the integrity of the signal ground if the chassis is exposed to electrical noise. In addition, when the metal port is in good electrical contact with a well-grounded chassis, the metal port provides additional EMI shielding from electrically noisy circuits.
