380-40-102-00-001000

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Specialty Pin

380-40-102-00-001000 is a type of rectangular connector used in various applications. It is formulized by a 40-contact header base and a 2-row 102-pin interconnector. Typical applications include network infrastructure, telecom systems and consumer electronics, etc. Major features of this type of connector could be summarized as below:

• Both board-to-cable and cable-to-cable connections are enabled
• Up to 40 signal contacts, and fixed grounding/shielding contacts.
• Positive locking for increased connection reliability and durability.
• Connection between plug and cable in one operation.

Working Principle of 380-40-102-00-001000 appears to be rather simple. To start with, the contact housing part is constructed by the contact head and an elongated body with many contact slots. Then, a 2x102-pin contact of two mating connection is threaded through both contact housings and stored. During assembly, the contact is inserted into the contact housing correctly, and two contact head snap each other together to make the connection secure. Subsequently, the fixed ground/shielding contacts are also be inserted into the contact housing slots and locked together, followed by the interconnection of two connectors. Thus, by implementing the comprehensive measures of the connector body design, the electrical contact reliability is further enhanced.

Finally, 380-40-102-00-001000 connector is tested for any reliable issues prior to shipment. Typically, the main performance tests includes contact resistance testing, contact quench testing, fatigue tests, vibration tests, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test, as well as temperature cycling tests, etc.

In conclusion, 380-40-102-00-001000 is a handy, reliable and versatile connection solution required in a variety of applications. It is not only simple to install and durable enough for most environments, but also has high electrical reliability and satisfactory environmental protection. As such, the 380-40-102-00-001000 connector is suitable for systems requiring high connectivity, performance and reliability.
