RSP-239422-01

Overview

The RSP-239422-01 is a high-density ribbon cable assembly manufactured by Samtec Inc. This component features a 42-position configuration with a 0.50 mm pitch, designed for compact electronic interconnects. The assembly utilizes a flexible flat cable (FFC) terminated with ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connectors on both ends. It is engineered to provide reliable signal transmission in space-constrained environments requiring high pin counts within a minimal footprint.

Feature Summary

• High-density interconnect capability with 42 positions at a fine 0.50 mm pitch
• Utilizes Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connector technology for secure mating without mechanical stress
• Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) construction allows for routing in tight spaces and dynamic applications

Applications

• Mobile device internal connectivity
• Compact consumer electronics assemblies
• Medical instrumentation interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific length and termination style required for your design, as ribbon cable assemblies often have strict dimensional tolerances. Confirm that the mating connectors in your system are compatible with the 0.50 mm pitch and ZIF mechanism specified for this part number. Ensure environmental ratings meet your operational requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high I/O density is critical and board space is limited. The 0.50 mm pitch allows for significant signal routing in narrow areas. Consider the flexibility of the FFC material if the application involves movement or requires bending around obstacles within the device chassis.

Part Context

This part belongs to Samtec's Ribbon Cable Assembly product line, which focuses on high-reliability interconnect solutions. The RSP series typically denotes specific connector types and termination methods within their broader portfolio of flexible circuit solutions used in modern electronics manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 42-position count, 0.50 mm pitch, and ZIF termination type. Verify physical dimensions and electrical characteristics against original specifications before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
