3040-24-99

Rectangular Connectors - Board In, Direct Wire to Board have become increasingly popular in recent years, with the introduction of the 3040-24-99 connector. This connector is designed for versatile applications, but beyond its uses, it’s important to understand its field of application and working principle.

Application Field

The 3040-24-99 board-to-board connector is an ideal choice for applications that require several connection times for power, signal and mixed signals, as well as a quick and reliable connection with a wire-to-board or board-to-board connector. Grayhill also recommends this connector for applications like: electronic automotive systems, transportation systems, intelligent retail equipment, automation systems, industrial sensors, medical instrumentations, robots systems, etc.

Working Principle

The 3040-24-99 board-to-board connector uses a four-point contact termination method, which sets it apart from other traditional connectors. This unique design ensures a reliable connection, as all four contact points guarantee a secure connection, regardless of orientation or misalignment. It also offers superior performance, as well as a resistance to shock and vibration.

The four-point contact system includes two contact points on each terminal, with two on the top and two on the bottom. The contact points are located inside of the splined slots, which ensure a uniform electrical connection and prevent damage from occurring due to extreme temperatures or humidity.

The board-to-board connections are secured by a plastic housing that has a bridge clip mounted along the middle of the piece. This bridge clip is designed to easily snap into the connector housing, which ensures a secure connection and prevents accidental disconnects.

The 3040-24-99 connector is also designed to be used in a wide range of applications. From power systems to signal systems, it’s the go-to connector for reliable performance and superior performance. It also allows for a quick connection without the need for additional tools, making it the ideal choice for projects.

Conclusion

The 3040-24-99 board-to-board connector is changing the way PCBs are connected. By utilizing a four-point contact system, it not only ensures a secure connection, but it also minimizes the risk of accidental disconnects and offers superior performance. This connector is ideal for applications that require several connection times and a reliable connection with a wire-to-board or board-to-board connector.
