RM232-040-102-2900

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The AirBorn RM232-040-102-2900 is a rectangular MIL Spec connector from the R Series, designed for board mount plug applications. It features a vertical orientation with a plastic body and dual row configuration. The connector utilizes a 0.075-inch (1.91 mm) pitch and supports 40 circuits. Termination is achieved via through-hole mounting without mounting ears. The contacts are gold-plated beryllium copper pins housed in a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) shell. It complies with MIL-DTL-55302 standards, operating between -65°C and +125°C with a 3 A current rating.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify specific ordering suffixes against manufacturer documentation to ensure correct termination style and contact plating. Confirm RoHS compliance status as it varies by production batch. Check for active Product Change Notifications prior to procurement. Validate that the selected variant matches the required circuit count and pitch specifications for the target application.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model for vertical board-to-board connections requiring high-density I/O. Ensure the mating receptacle shares the same 1.91 mm pitch and MIL-DTL-55302 interface. Verify that the through-hole footprint aligns with PCB design constraints. Consider environmental sealing requirements if exposed to harsh conditions beyond standard operating temperatures.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

Part of the AirBorn R Series family, known for high-density interconnect solutions. Designed for demanding environments where space is limited but performance is critical. Offers robust mechanical retention and electrical continuity for mission-critical systems.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 40-position, dual-row, 1.91mm pitch specification. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' MIL-DTL-55302 equivalents only if pinout compatibility is verified. No generic replacements exist due to proprietary keying.
