51740-B0402404CCLF

Backplane connectors are specialized pieces of hardware used to facilitate communications between major components in a computer or other electronic system. The 51740-B0402404CCLF, a backplane connector of the B040 family, is used extensively in high-performance computing and aerospace applications.

The 51740-B0402404CCLF features a dense array of 90 contact points as well as a low profile plastic molding, making it an ideal solution for tight spaces. The contact points are distributed in 2.9mm centers, arranged in three vertical groups of 30. These groups are separated by a 0.4mm gap to prevent electrical shorting. The overall size of the 51740-B0402404CCLF is 6.6mm x 28.9mm.

The 51740-B0402404CCLF connector has a variety of advantages, including a high power rating of 4 amps per contact, high shock and vibration resistance, and a small size. It is suitable for use with conductors up to AWG 28 in size and can withstand temperatures ranging from -55°C to 105°C.

The working principle of the 51740-B0402404CCLF is relatively straightforward. When two components are brought together, the contact points of the connector pinch and make contact with each other, allowing electricity to pass through them. This creates an electrical connection, allowing the components to communicate with each other.

The 51740-B0402404CCLF is one of the most popular backplane connectors on the market and is used in a wide range of applications, including aerospace, automotive, industrial, and medical fields. It is a widely used choice of connector due to its superior power rating, shock and vibration resistance, and small size. For these reasons, and more, the 51740-B0402404CCLF provides a reliable and efficient method for connecting multiple components.
