640388-2

Rectangular connectors are an integral part of technology and are used to link two devices together, transmitting power or data. Amongst the headers, male pins, and other rectangular connectors, 640388-2 connectors stand out as having a unique application field and working principle.

640388-2 connectors are designed for use with power, signal and control signals, with a maximum current of 3A and a maximum voltage of 100V. The contacts are made with gold plating over a fine-grain steel finish, providing secure connections between compatible devices. As with all rectangular connectors, there are variations in size and construction between different models, but the 640388-2 connectors are particularly small at just 0.289 mm² with an 8 mm pin pitch. This makes them ideal for use in narrower circuits and connector housings.

The 640388-2 connector is a two-piece SMT (Surface Mount Technology) system, made up of a plug and a receptacle. It also contains a self-locking feature with a funnel-shaped entrance, allowing for easy installation and secure locking when assembled. The contact is a female contact, designed to be inserted into the printed circuit board (PCB). It is the standard size for many electronic components, making it a suitable option for a variety of applications in the field of complex microelectronics.

The working principle of the 640388-2 is simple. When the funnel-shaped entrance to the contact is placed against a PCB, with the two parts joined, the electrical connection is made. The self-locking feature ensures a secure connection, and the electrical current is then passed through the contact between the two devices. The contact is designed to withstand a variety of environment conditions, and its gold plating prevents corrosion, meaning it is suitable for multiple uses.

The 640388-2 connector is used in a variety of applications, from home appliances such as washing machines, to industrial applications including power supplies and printed circuit boards. One of the reasons it is so versatile is due to its wide compatibility with many circuit boards, and its small size. It is often used in conjunction with other connector types to make sure that power and data transmissions are secure between two devices.

If you are looking for a secure and reliable connection between two electronic devices, the 640388-2 connector is an ideal choice. Its small size and wide compatibility make it a useful and versatile connector for a variety of applications, ensuring a secure connection between two devices. Its gold plated finish offers superior protection from corrosion, and its self-locking feature guarantees secure locking.
