ARJM11A3-516-KB-CW2

Modular connectors, also known as jacks with magnetics, have been used for many years in a wide variety of applications. The ARJM11A3-516-KB-CW2 is part of the company’s line of modular connectors that use magnets to ensure secure electrical connections between the two components. This family of connectors is designed to work in a wide range of environments and conditions.

Application Field

ARJM11A3-516-KB-CW2 connector is used mainly in high frequency applications at frequencies up to 6.0GHz and in moderate temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. It is suitable for instrumentation, measuring and control, audio/video, consumer electronics, computing and telecom/datacom applications.

The card-edge connection simplifies installation and eliminates the need for any other type of connection technology. Furthermore, the lightweight of the connector makes it ideal for use in lightweight devices, such as some hard disk drives and portable audio players. Its compact size also makes it easy to install in cramped spaces, such as in tight-fit cabinets.

ARJM11A3-516-KB-CW2 series are fully compliant to UL 94, CSA 22.2 specifications, RoHS compliant and meets FCC 68.5 requirements.

Working Principle

ARJM11A3-516-KB-CW2 connectors use magnetics to make secure electrical connections between two components, by drawing them safely together. This makes for a strong, reliable and durable connection that won’t succumb to the harsh environmental conditions or physical stresses that are typical of many other types of connections.

The connector contains a series of tin-plated copper contacts that are separated by a base metal contact ring. This contact ring is then surrounded by molded plastic insulation to protect the contacts from the environment. Magnets are then placed around the contact ring, which help draw the two components together and then keep them securely held together.

The magnets help ensure that the contacts remain in good contact with each other while also dissipating any heat that may build up during operation. This helps to reduce the risk of sparks and arcing, which can be detrimental to the equipment.

ARJM11A3-516-KB-CW2 connectors have an average current rating of 4 amps and a dielectric withstanding voltage rating of 250VAC. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.

In conclusion, ARJM11A3-516-KB-CW2 connectors are designed for use in high-frequency applications. They use magnets to safely attach the two components together and can easily be installed in a wide range of environments and conditions. The compact size and lightweight of the connector also make it ideal for use in lightweight devices, such as portable audio players. Furthermore, these connectors comply with the required safety standards and have a high current and voltage rating.
