4242AB51K02346 RF/IF and RFID

The 4242AB51K02346 contact is part of the category of RFI and EMI contacts, Fingerstock and Gaskets. As the name implies, this type of contact is use in electronics for radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. The 4242AB51K02346 contact is a fingerstock, which is composed of set of extended aluminum fingers and gold-plated contacts.

The contact is typically mounted on a board so that one contact has the fingers’ and the top has the gold-plated contact pads. This arrangement allows the fingerstock contact to work as a low-profile common-mode filter, which offers improved isolation from emissions created by high-speed digital switching.

The use of the 4242AB51K02346 contact extends beyond noise cancellation and protection. By leveraging its low-profile configuration, the contact can be used as a type of shielding, blocking electric and magnetic fields through the contact. This allows it to be used for applications such as shielding for computer systems, telecommunication systems, instrumentation systems, and many other applications.

The contact’s low-profile design also makes it ideal for use in tight locations where standard shielding may not fit, such as within enclosures or behind circuit boards. The aluminum fingers on the contact are flexible and can easily conform to the shape of the object it is mounted on for improved shielding.

The construction of the 4242AB51K02346 contact is sturdy and reliable, providing excellent durability and performance. The contact is made of high-quality materials that have been tested for strength and durability. Additionally, the aluminum and gold-plated contacts are resistant to corrosion and are designed to withstand temperature extremes, from -40°C to +125°C.

The 4242AB51K02346 contact is available in a variety of sizes and configurations, making it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications. To ensure an optimal performance, the contact should be mounted on a board that is properly grounded. Additionally, the contact should be placed in a location that is free of mechanical vibration and electrical signals.

The 4242AB51K02346 contact provides an effective and reliable shielding solution for digital devices and systems. Its low profile design enables it to be used in areas where other types of shielding may not fit, while its aluminum and gold-plated contact materials provide excellent durability and performance. The contact is easy to mount and install, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
