The 48-pin black female audio connector is a specialized interface designed for high-density audio signal transmission in professional and industrial applications. This robust connector features a compact form factor while accommodating a significant number of contacts, making it ideal for complex audio routing systems where space efficiency and reliable connectivity are paramount.Physical Characteristics:The connector's black thermoplastic housing provides durability and EMI shielding, with a matte finish that resists fingerprints. Measuring approximately [insert typical dimensions], its rectangular profile incorporates a precision-molded mating guide to prevent incorrect insertion. The 48 gold-plated contacts (arranged in 2-3 staggered rows) ensure optimal signal integrity, with each pin rated for [insert cycles] mating cycles. A reinforced strain relief collar accommodates cable diameters up to [insert mm].Electrical Specifications:Designed for balanced audio signals, the connector supports:- Contact resistance: <20mΩ- Insulation resistance: >100MΩ- Voltage rating: 50V AC/DC- Current capacity: 1A per contactFrequency response spans 20Hz-20kHz (±0.5dB), with crosstalk attenuation <-80dB at 1kHz. The nickel-plated shell provides 360° EMI shielding, achieving >90dB RFI suppression.Mechanical Features:The connector employs a dual-locking mechanism:1. A positive-latch spring clip for tool-less mating2. Optional screw fasteners for vibration-resistant applicationsIP54-rated versions feature silicone gaskets for dust/water protection. The rear-termination area supports both soldered and crimped connections, with color-coded wire channels for simplified installation.Applications:Primarily used in:- Broadcast studio patch bays- Live sound digital mixers- Aerospace in-flight entertainment systems- Modular synthesizer interconnects- Military field audio equipmentCompatibility:The connector mates with standard 48-pin male audio headers following IEC 61076-3-110 specifications. Special variants include:- High-temperature models (125°C rated)- Right-angle PCB mount versions- Shielded twisted-pair optimized designsInstallation Notes:Recommended torque for locking screws is 0.6N·m. Cable preparation requires stripping 8mm of insulation, with a maximum bend radius of 5x cable diameter. Periodic contact cleaning with isopropyl alcohol maintains performance.This connector represents a balance between high-channel-count capability and rugged reliability, serving as a critical component in mission-critical audio infrastructure where signal fidelity and mechanical endurance are non-negotiable requirements.
