The part number **48AV-4YV6-R** refers to a high-performance **VGA (Video Graphics Array) Connector**, typically used in industrial computing, server backplanes, and high-density electronic assemblies. This specific series is known for its compact footprint and robust electrical characteristics. --- ### ## Technical Specifications The following table outlines the typical technical parameters for this class of high-density D-sub connectors: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | High-Density D-Sub (VGA) | | **Number of Positions** | 15-Pin (3 Rows) | | **Gender** | Female (Receptacle) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole, Right Angle | | **Orientation** | 90° (Vertical to Horizontal transition) | | **Contact Plating** | Gold (typically 15µ" or 30µ") over Nickel | | **Housing Material** | Thermoplastic (UL 94V-0 Rated) | | **Current Rating** | 1A - 3A per contact | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | --- ### ## Key Electronic Components & Features 1. **Pin Configuration (High Density):** Unlike standard D-subs, this part utilizes three rows of pins to maintain a compact 15-pin layout within the size of a standard 9-pin shell. This is the standard for VGA video signals. 2. **Right-Angle PCB Interface:** The "48AV" series usually denotes a right-angle orientation. This allows the connector to sit on the edge of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), making the VGA port accessible from the outside of a device chassis. 3. **Shielding and Grounding:** The outer metal shell (typically tin-plated steel or brass) acts as a Faraday cage. This is critical for electronic signals to prevent **Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)** and to provide a chassis ground path. 4. **Boardlocks (Mechanical Stays):** The "R" suffix often indicates "RoHS Compliant" or specific mounting hardware like **Boardlocks** or **Screwlocks**. These are metal tabs that solder into the PCB to provide mechanical strain relief, ensuring the connector isn't ripped off the board during frequent plugging/unplugging. --- ### ## Applications * **Industrial PCs:** Used for video output in rugged environments. * **Server Management:** Integrated onto motherboards for local console access. * **Medical Equipment:** Used in imaging displays where VGA standards are still utilized for legacy compatibility.
