Backplane Connectors - Contacts

The 0442624402 is a backplane contact designed for use in standard board-to-board applications. This two-part contact provides good electrical contact performance, environmental stability and easy installation. It offers low insertion force and improved electrical characteristics which make it suitable for a variety of applications.

Application Field

The 0442624402 contact is designed for use in a wide range of industrial, medical, automotive, aerospace and military systems. It is particularly well-suited for use in applications which require good signal integrity due to its low insertion force and improved electrical characteristics. It can be used in devices with very high speed, high reliability, low crosstalk and low EMI interfaces such as high-speed switching networks, sensor networks, video/audio networks and machine vision systems.

Working Principle

The 0442624402 contact uses an advanced contact design which provides improved electrical performance and environmental stability. The contact has two parts, a male part which plugs into a printed circuit board and a female part which plugs into another printed circuit board. The contact consists of a spring-loaded plunger which is held in place by a plastic collar. The plunger makes contact with a pre-formed contact pad on the female connector when the two parts are connected. The plunger provides a low insertion force and improves the electrical performance of the contact by providing good electrical contact resistance and low crosstalk.

The contact components are molded from a special thermoplastic material which is resistant to chemical aging, abrasion and mechanical shock. The contact is supplied with solder cup terminations which allow for easy assembly and installation. The contact is also provided with pre-plated gold or silver coating which improves its electrical performance and reliability.

The 0442624402 contact is one of the most reliable backplane connectors available. It offers superior electrical performance, low insertion force and excellent environmental stability. It is ideal for a range of industrial, medical, automotive, aerospace and military applications.
