3-2040478-2

The 3-2040478-2 is an example of a rectangular connector, more specifically an array, edge type, mezzanine (board to board) connector. With its versatility, it is widely used in a variety of applications in different industries.

This type of connector consists of two parts, an Edge Card Connector and a Board Connector. The Edge Card Connectors are arranged in an array with terminals pre-loaded. The Board Connector is a self-contained assembly that allows printed circuit boards to be connected easily without external assembly. This type of connector is well suited for environments where board-to-board connection is required.

The 3-2040478-2 is well-suited for applications such as power supplies, motor controllers, lighting systems, instrumentation, and automation. Its versatile design allows for use in a variety of applications, from home appliances to industrial automation. It also offers excellent isolation between wires and grounds, which makes it very useful for applications where ground loops need to be avoided.

In addition, the 3-2040478-2 offers many benefits that make it an ideal connector for applications that require high-speed data transmission. Its compact design reduces the amount of space needed on the board, making it an ideal solution for space-constrained applications. The connector also offers excellent signal integrity, with high-speed current transfer and low signal attenuation.

The working principle behind the 3-2040478-2 is relatively simple. The connector is a two-part assembly, where the Board Connector is mounted on a board and the Edge Card connector slides into the Board Connector’s array. The terminals are then connected when the Edge Card Connector is locked into place. The Board Connector is usually mounted using soldered stands.

The 3-2040478-2 is widely used for applications such as power supplies, motor controllers, lighting systems, instrumentation, and automation. Its versatile design allows for easy connection between printed circuit boards and makes it a cost-effective solution for many applications. Its signal integrity, high-speed current transfer, and low signal attenuation also make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
