3040-20-00

3040-20-00 connectors are rectangular connectors designed primarily for direct wire-to-board application and belong to the board in category. Such connectors provide for a quick and economical means of connecting terminating wires to printed circuit boards and are used for commercial, industrial, and other applications.

3040-20-00 connectors feature a 2-piece metal housing that engages to form a self-contained unit. The housing is mechanically locked into position by one of the fixing lugs, and the rear section is secured to the board by the same fixing lug. To construct the connector, it is necessary to strip the conductor and core the inner strand before installing into the housing.

The 3040-20-00 connectors have unique fastening design which makes them easy to dismantle and reconnect. This design includes a fastening lug which is used to secure the housing to the board and for mechanical locking. The housing is made from high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy and is designed to have a wide operating temperature range. It also features an anti-tamper feature that prevents removal of the housing from the board without unlocking the fastening lug.

The 3040-20-00 connectors have a high-current capacity that is suitable for many board-in applications. The contacts feature a standard .093" center to center spacing and are made from nickel plated brass or stainless steel. They are rated for up to 10A and have an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

3040-20-00 connectors offer a simple and reliable solution for connecting terminating wires to printed circuit boards. They are easy to assemble, cost-effective, and provide a secure connection. They are also designed to be durable and reliable, with a wide operating temperature range, and offer a high current rating for board-in applications.
