0741620040

0741620040 rectangular connectors are a series of board-level interconnecting solutions manufactured by Molex that allow different electrical circuits to be joined efficiently without risk of short-circuits, electrostatic discharge (ESD) or mechanical damage. These connectors consist of a male pin header or female socket header which is soldered to the circuit board. The pins are then inserted into the header and secured with a locking cap. This interconnecting solution provides an extremely reliable method of creating a connection between circuits, making it ideal for applications such as automotive, industrial, medical and consumer electronics.

The 0741620040 connectors offer excellent signal integrity, electrical isolation and numerous mating cycles before contact degradation, all which contribute to the reliable connection of electrical circuits. Furthermore, the locking mechanism on the connectors provides a vibration-proof and corrosion-resistant interference fit which prevents accidental decoupling when in use.

The 0741620040 series comprises a wide range of connectors, including male pins, crimp pins, wire-to-board housings, female sockets and headers. Each of these components is designed with the appropriate amount of pins to match the application requirement. The male pins and female sockets, for example, come in 4-23 and 6-25 varieties respectively. This wealth of choice makes these connectors well-suited to a vast array of applications, such as automotive, industrial, medical and aerospace.

Molex has designed the 0741620040 series with supreme performance in mind. The contacts are formed from high quality brass, providing optimum conductivity and corrosion resistance. They’re also plated to ensure adequate electrical snap/dueconnect and prevent the formation of oxide layers, which can cause contact isolation in unfavourable environment. The male and female headers are made from robust, yet lightweight plastic clips providing a secure connection for up to 5000 mating cycles without wear and tear. The strain relief on the connector also provides improved stress relief from connecting wires to the system.

To ensure the system isn’t compromised by ESD or mechanical damage, the 0741620040 connectors are designed to meet the applicable emission and immunity standards, including IEC 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-3 and IEC 61000-4-5. This makes them an ideal solution for applications where EMI shielding is required, such as automotive and medical.

In addition to their EMI shielding properties, the 0741620040 series of connectors are designed for low insertion and withdrawal force. This ensures minimal plugging and unplugging efforts when used in applications where frequent connections and disconnections are necessary, such as medical equipment and laboratory test equipment.

The 0741620040 connectors are designed to simplify high-performance board-level interconnecting solutions. With their excellent signal integrity, corrosion resistance and robust design, they make the perfect choice for a variety of requirements. With a vast range of connector types available, Molex is sure to have a connector to suit any application.
