516-038-520-230

Engineered for extreme reliability, the 516-038-520-230 Backplane Connectors - Housings by EDAC Inc. sets new standards in industrial interconnect solutions. This ruggedized connector system is specifically developed for harsh environment applications where vibration, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure are common challenges.The Housing for Non-Gendered Contacts configuration provides dual-beam contact technology that ensures stable electrical performance even under continuous mechanical stress in railway signaling systems.Implementing Rack and Panel design principles, this connector achieves superior EMI/RFI shielding effectiveness (>90dB at 1GHz) for sensitive instrumentation in oil and gas exploration.With 38 configurable positions, this versatile solution accommodates mixed-signal requirements in factory automation controllers and PLC systems.The 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing is optimized for power integrity, minimizing voltage drop across high-current distribution networks in renewable energy inverters.The 9 row arrangement provides balanced mechanical loading during mating cycles, preventing warpage in large-format industrial control panels.Designed for Free Hanging (In-Line) installation, this connector features reinforced strain relief for cable harnesses in heavy machinery and construction equipment.Functioning as Receptacle, the component incorporates self-cleaning contact surfaces that maintain low contact resistance in dusty manufacturing environments.The Backshell package includes integrated thermal management features that reduce hot-spot temperatures by 15 C in power electronics applications.The Green housing material is resistant to UV degradation and chemical corrosion, making it suitable for offshore wind turbine installations.
