3040-00-18-02

Rectangular Connectors – Board In, Direct Wire to Board are reliable interconnection components, which provide the highest possible level of continuing contact assurance in a variety of harsh environments.

3040-00-18-02 connectors are established in a board-in, direct wire-to-board configuration. The board-in portion of the connector is further configured in a two-piece assembly with a dielectric retainer latched onto the solder cup in the board. Made with a high-temperature thermoplastic housing, the retainer provides excellent retention force which ensures superior connection to the board.

These board-in connectors feature springs that mechanically engage the contact, allowing the electrical transition from the press fit termination to occur smoothly. The robust contact springs provide reliable contact between the mating halves of the connector.

3040-00-18-02 connectors provide excellent performance in a variety of electrical, mechanical, and environmental conditions. With a unique design which allows for direct wire-to-board design, these connectors provide superior protection against arcing, shock, and vibration. The direct wire terminations are insulated with a high-temperature thermoplastic, offering superior temperature resistance and protection against soldering damage.

The 3040-00-18-02 conforms to the MIL-C-53501 specification. Its contacts are made of silver-plated copper alloy and offer excellent electrical continuity and superior resistance to corrosion and wear. The board-in design allows the connector to be securely mounted to the board even in extreme temperatures and vibration.

Overall, the 3040-00-18-02 provides a reliable and robust interconnection in a secure board-in, direct wire-to-board configuration. Its durable design and materials provide superior performance in a variety of electrical, mechanical, and environmental conditions.
