4096PA51H01800

RFI and EMI - Contacts, Fingerstock and Gaskets

The 4096PA51H01800 is an application specific contact found in the family of connectors within the Goodrich-manufactured division of Castleberry Industrial. The 4096PA51H01800 is designed, from the ground up, to satisfy the most exacting RF and EMI shielding requirements of connectors employed in avionics, aerospace, medical and automotive industries.

The 4096PA51H01800 is designed to accommodate a single signal contact and with its positive metal to metal mating assurance, has exceptional resistance to EMI/RFI. Its discreet design and ring captive contact allows shielding to be a paramount consideration in comprehensive shielding packages. Coupled with a preci-lok nipple (post contact) and a baffled preci-shield spiral shielding sleeve, the 4096PA51H01800 ensures an RF/EMI noise free connection.

Application Field

The 4096PA51H01800 was engineered for installation in a variety of demanding applications. In the fields of avionics, aerospace, military, and other high-technology fields, a reliable, robust, and noise free electronic connection is a necessity. Aerospace, medical, and automotive industries require that their electronic connections are not only reliable and free from variation due to environmental conditions but must also remain active over a range of temperatures and pressures. The 4096PA51H01800 contact is designed to meet those needs.

Working Principle

When the contact is mated, the two parts form a mechanical connection with a positive metal-to-metal locking action. As the preci-lok nipple (post contact) couples with its respective locking feature, an electrical connection is made through the contact which is then soldered and/or press fitted. The conductive material within the contact then contacts the respective conductors via closely spaced points of contact which then form a reliable electrical connection (communicates information). Additionally, the contact\'s superior geometry makes it so that upon coupling, its recesses form an effective EMI/RFI shield by forming a sealed perimeter in which radiation of any kind is unable to penetrate.

Since the Preci-Lok nipple provides for a vibration-resistant connection, reliability of a system is increased, and the significant reduction of external noise and transmitted/ received signals seen in this contact system ensure that sensitive electronics connected to the system remain secure and noise-free. The contact\'s comfortable ergonomic operating force similarly ensures reliable and repeatable insertion/removal for even the most high-traffic and demanding applications.

The 4096PA51H01800 contact has earned a certification as a qualified product within the Avionics Industries network. This ensures that the contact has been thoroughly tested for events that could compromise its performance, including heat transfer, exposure to contamination and corrosives, vibration, and shock.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 4096PA51H01800 contact offers a reliable and secure alternative for applications that demand reliable RF and EMI shielding. With its advanced mechanical design and certified performance ratings, the contact offers a dependable and secure solution to a multitude of industrial requirements. Its secure locking action and vibration-proof installation provide additional assurance to customers looking for a reliable, robust electronic connection. The 4096PA51H01800 contact is a great choice for those looking for a dependable solution for a virtually infinite range of demanding applications.
