Preguntas frecuentes (FAQ)
Q1: What does “302” mean in the model number?
“302” indicates the connector has 2 contacts (2 contacts). This simple 2-pin configuration is ideal for basic signal transmission, power connections, or low-voltage applications requiring minimal pin count.
Q2: What is the advantage of 90-degree elbow contact (ZCG) over straight PCB mount (ZGG)?
ZCG sockets with 90-degree elbow contacts save 30-40% PCB space and allow horizontal board layout options. They’re ideal when vertical clearance is limited or when you need to route cables parallel to the PCB surface.
Q3: What does “CLV” mean in ZCG.1B.302.CLV?
“CLV” is a code indicating specific configuration: “C” = Housing material, “L” = Contact polarity, “V” = contact type. This ensures the connector can only mate with compatible plugs with matching keying.
Q4: What is the difference between ZCG and ECG in the model number?
ZCG.1B.302.CLV is our model, functionally equivalent to ECG.1B.302.CLV from other manufacturers. Both are 90-degree PCB sockets with the same pin configuration and dimensions, ensuring full compatibility and interchangeability.
Q5: What is the lead time for shipping to Italy?
We typically ship via DHL/FedEx express, which takes 3-5 business days to Italy (Milan, Rome, Turin, etc.). We shipped these 50pcs in late March, and the customer received and tested them within one week.
