AT-2040-LSHM-010-03

Overview

The AT-2040-LSHM-010-03 is a specialized cable assembly component manufactured by Samtec Inc. It belongs to the LSHM series, which utilizes the Razor Beam high-speed hermaphroditic terminal design. This assembly is engineered for board-to-cable interconnections, providing a rugged solution with optional shielding capabilities for electromagnetic interference protection. The product integrates fine-pitch contacts to support high-density signal routing in compact electronic systems.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Razor Beam high-speed hermaphroditic terminal technology for reliable signal transmission
• Designed for board-to-cable applications requiring rugged and high-density interconnects
• Supports optional shielding configurations to mitigate electromagnetic interference

Applications

• Board-to-cable interconnection systems
• High-speed data transmission environments
• Applications requiring ruggedized connector solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific configuration details against the official Samtec datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the cable assembly meets the required electrical specifications and mechanical constraints for the target application. Ensure compatibility with mating LSHM series connectors. Check for any recent product change notices or material updates that may affect performance or compliance status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a rugged board-to-cable solution with high-speed capabilities is required. The Razor Beam design offers density benefits in X, Y, and Z axes. Consider the optional shielding features if EMI protection is necessary. Verify stack height requirements and mating forces, as they differ from typical micro-pitch connectors. Ensure the application supports the self-mating system characteristics.

Part Context

This part is part of the LSHM family, characterized by its 0.50 mm pitch and hermaphroditic terminal design. The series is known for high reliability and reduced inventory costs due to its self-mating nature. It supports various stack heights and is suitable for parallel, perpendicular, and coplanar systems. The Razor Beam contact system ensures robust performance in demanding environments.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Samtec documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Generic replacements may not match the specific Razor Beam terminal geometry or shielding options. Verify electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
