338069-4

The 338069-4 is a part of the rectangular connectors family- Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets. It is often used in EMI/RFI shielded applications, and presents high contact density between its center contacts.

The connector offers an extremely robust and space-saving solution that allows for reliable electrical and mechanical connection of equipment. The shell is made of Thermoplastic with good flame-resistant, and color coding and polarizations makes it easier to recognize and work with. The 338069-4 also offers protection to a wide range of applications including communications, data processing, and industrial circuitry.

The 338069-4 has excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics which make it one of the most used and reliable parts of the rectangular connectors. It offers four rows of 6 contacts with up to 1.2A current carrying capacity and 10A per contact. The mating cycle can withstand up to 500 cycles in a variety of environments and temperature ranges. It has a high immunity from vibration and shock. The contact is made of highly conductive phosphor bronze plated with gold to ensure reliable connection.

The 338069-4 works on the principle of gas compression. When a cable is inserted into the receptacle, the ridge and the plated contacts inside the connector prevent the cable from slipping out. As the cable is inserted and withdrawn, the gas compression within the connector takes place. This action creates a uniform contact force that holds the cable safely and consistently inside the connector. The gas compression keeps the connector in a sealed environment. This sealed environment prevents dirt, dust, moisture, and external contaminants from penetrating the connector. As a result, the 338069-4 provides a secure and reliable mating of connectors.

The 338069-4 is suitable for many applications, such as EMI/RFI shielding, high-speed data transmission, industrial controls, consumer/commercial electronics, computer/office equipment, etc. It is designed in accordance with international technical standards and is compatible with RS-232, USB 2.0 and 3.0, as well as Bluetooth protocols. Additionally, it complies with environmental regulations, such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive or the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive. The 338069-4 also supports high speed data and power over USB applications.

In conclusion, the 338069-4 rectangular connector is the perfect solution for any application that requires reliable connection and robust protection. The connector\'s high contact density and its gas compression principle offer a secure and reliable connection in a wide range of environments. This connector is suitable for applications including communications, data processing, and industrial circuitry, as well as for high-speed data and power over USB connections. The 338069-4 also complies with the environmental regulations like RoHS and WEEE.
