360-40-120-00-001000

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Specialty Pin are common framed connectors that use claws or pins to join components for the purpose of providing electrical services within a single assembly. The 360-40-120-00-001000 is a type of rectangular connector typically used when circuitry, small devices, and/or wires need to be connected or exchanged between two or more devices quickly and securely. Within the 360-40-120-00-001000 rectangular connector category, there are two main types: standard and custom. Within each type, there are a variety of styles, depending on the application, including specialties with specific electrical and/or mechanical properties.

The 360-40-120-00-001000 rectangular connector has a 40-pin layout that is typically designed for specific panel, wire, or mount type applications. The number of pins in a connector is normally expressed as a multiplier that identifies the number of pins per row. In the case of the 360-40-120-00-001000, the 40-pin layout is expressed as a multiple of 40 pins per row in the circuit board or panel.

The 360-40-120-00-001000 rectangular connector typically consists of a plastic housing, which houses the main connector, as well as a set of contacts. The contacts are usually copper or zinc coated and are held in place with screws or clips. The connector also has a ratchet and lock assembly, which is designed to provide a secure connection. The ratchet and lock assembly works by applying pressure to each contact, causing the pins to twist and hold firmly in place.

The 360-40-120-00-001000 rectangular connector is typically used in high-current, low-voltage, or low-power applications such as automotive, transportation, single-board computers, power supplies, audio, and communication devices. It is also useful for non-automotive applications such as medical, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. The connector is often used in custom applications that require special wiring and pin order.

The working principle of the 360-40-120-00-001000 rectangular connector is relatively simple. When the contacts are connected, the connector’s housing or box holds them securely in place, enabling electrical current to be transmitted through the terminals. Additionally, the ratchet and latch mechanism adds a further level of security, ensuring that the connector maintains the desired connection without needing to be resecured more than once.

In summary, the 360-40-120-00-001000 rectangular connector is a specialty pin or header type connector designed to join components for the purpose of providing electrical services within a single assembly. This product is usually used in high-current, low-voltage, or low-power applications such as automotive, transportation, single-board computers, power supplies, audio, and communication devices.
