PK10M-040P-TH2-DA

Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

The PK10M-040P-TH2-DA is a mezzanine array connector developed by Phoenix Contact. It houses several pins that are arranged in an array with a total of 10 rows and 40 pins in each row. Mezzanine connectors are used to connect two printed circuit boards (PCBs), back-to-back, and transfer information between them. This particular type of connector has a low profile and a screw locking system for a secure connection.

Application Field

The application for the PK10M-040P-TH2-DA includes industrial automation, telecommunication, automotive, LED lighting, railway, consumer electronics, and medical technology. This connector is considered to be especially effective in harsh environments since it is dust and waterproof. It can be used as a reliable connection even in the most extreme conditions, such as when working with high temperatures, dust, extreme weather conditions, and vibration.

Working Principle

The PK10M-040P-TH2-DA mezzanine connector uses a board-to-board connection system, which enables the pins of one circuit board to make contact with the pins of another circuit board. The pins have built-in springs that allow them to make contact with one another, enabling the transfer of data. In addition, the screws of the connector are tightened, which makes the connection even more secure. This ensures that the connectivity between the two boards is stable and reliable.

The PK10M-040P-TH2-DA is resistant to extreme temperatures, dust, and vibration, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The connector also has a high dielectric strength, enabling it to protect the connected components from voltage spikes. In addition, the plug connector is designed so that it can be inserted without having to be in line with the pins.

Conclusion

The PK10M-040P-TH2-DA mezzanine array connector is an effective solution for connecting two printed circuit boards (PCBs). It offers a secure connection and is resistant to dust, extreme temperatures, and vibration. Its applications range from industrial automation to medical technology and consumer electronics. It is designed with built-in springs and screw locking system to ensure reliable connectivity.
