046240-040-003-800 – AVX

The AVX 046240-040-003-800 is a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector contact designed for high-reliability interconnect applications. This specific part number designates a non-RoHS compliant component, indicating the presence of lead or other restricted substances exceeding allowable limits. The 046240 series is typically employed in board-to-board or cable-to-board connections where repeated mating cycles are required without stressing the mating surfaces. The “040” likely refers to a specific dimension or characteristic of the contact, such as contact pitch in mils or millimeters, requiring further datasheet review for precise determination. The “003” may indicate a specific plating material or thickness, influencing contact resistance and durability. The “800” likely denotes a specific packaging configuration or other manufacturing-related identifier. Engineers must verify compliance requirements and lifecycle status before incorporating this component into new designs.
