360042-1

The 360042-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors sets new standards in the Terminals - Housings, Boots segment, offering unparalleled performance for next-generation electrical systems. This solution is particularly effective in applications requiring robust EMI shielding and high-speed data transmission capabilities.Featuring a Cap construction, this product incorporates advanced polymer blends that resist chemical degradation. The seamless molding process eliminates potential weak points found in traditional multi-part housings.Designed for Quick Connect, Disconnect applications, the contacts feature a dual-beam design that maintains constant normal force throughout the mating cycle. This innovative approach reduces contact wear by 30% while improving current carrying capacity.The Male, Tab interface configuration incorporates redundant contact points for fail-safe operation. Precision-stamped components ensure dimensional consistency across high-volume production runs.Manufactured to 0.250" (6.35mm) tolerances, these terminals demonstrate exceptional resistance to mechanical stress. The specialized plating sequence provides excellent corrosion resistance in saline environments.With 1 available positions, this design optimizes PCB real estate utilization. The staggered contact arrangement minimizes parallel capacitance for improved high-frequency performance.Validated for use with 0.250" (6.35mm) x 0.032" (0.81mm) Quick Connects, this solution maintains stable contact resistance during thermal cycling. The material selection prevents cold flow under continuous mechanical load.The Free Hanging (In-Line) design incorporates tool-less installation features that reduce assembly time. Integrated strain relief prevents conductor fatigue at the termination point.Natural pigmentation provides both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, with laser-markable surfaces for permanent identification. The non-migrating dyes prevent color transfer during handling.
