3-216792-4

Rectangular connectors are one of the most widespread types of interconnection devices in the world. Board in, direct wire to board connectors are a special type of rectangular connectors. They interconnect a PCB (printed circuit board) with external device using a board in connector on one side and direct wires on the other. 3-216792-4 is a specific kind of such a board in, direct wire to board connector.

3-216792-4 is designed for signal and power applications where mating height, space and weight are key factors. This board-to-board, wire-to-board connector can be mated in line, back-to-back, or stacked. It has a 0.2" (5.08mm) pitch and 15 to 32 contacts. The wire range for each contact is 28-20 AWG. It comes with a standard bracket, bracket with EMI cover, breakaway bracket, and D-type housing. It has a maximum rated current of 0.5A per contact and a contact resistance of 50mΩ maximum.

The housing material of the 3-216792-4 is UL94-HB rated thermoplastic with a UL flammability rating. This connector is designed for use in a wide variety of markets including consumer electronics and telecommunications, automotive, aerospace and defense. It offers reliable connection with waterproof quality.

The working principle of the 3-216792-4 connector is simple. When two connectors are mated, the contacts on each connector insert into its counterparts, and the board-through-holes are held together. When the two connectors are mated, the contacts on each connector align perfectly. This ensures a reliable connection between the two boards, regardless of any imperfections in hole size or position. The wires attached to the board-in connector then connect through the board-through holes on the other board, creating a reliable electrical connection.

Overall, 3-216792-4 is an ideal board in, direct wire to board connector in various application fields. It offers reliable connections along with board mounting and wiring capabilities. With its low mating height, it can be easily mounted and connected, which makes it well-suited for compact devices. It is also engineered for a higher current carrying capacity and features an integral air-gap to protect against EMI/RFI. The 3-216792-4 connector is a robust and reliable solution for reliable board connections.
