HM2S30PE5101L9LF

Backplane Connectors - Hard Metric, Standard

The HM2S30PE5101L9LF is a 30-way High Density Vertical Cable Socket Connector from Molex. It is part of the Hard Metric, Standard range of backplane connectors and is especially suited for international markets. It has a metallic body with small and highly reliable plastic inserts. It is based on the technologies of INSULATED SNAP-FIT and PRESS-FIT to ensure long-term operability of products.

The design of the connector is especially suited for assembly on PCBs. It employs a panel-mount feature to ensure that when connected to a PCB, the header-to-PCB distance is minimized, allowing the system to be as compact as possible. Additionally, the optimized metallurgy used in the HM2S30PE5101L9LF ensures a reliable connection when connected to a backplane.

The HM2S30PE5101L9LF uses a two-part construction that includes a top and bottom. The top part consists of two columns of pins that form the socket portion of the connector. The top part can be inserted into the mating receptacle with minimal effort and then it locks to the PCB when a force is applied. The bottom part of the connector contains a series of contact springs with an exclusive wire snap-in technology that helps in ensuring a secure connection even in the event of vibration or shock.

The main application fields for the HM2S30PE5101L9LF are in the telecom, medical, industrial and military markets. It is a reliable interconnect solution for high speed/high density network applications such as Real-Time Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and FORE. It is extremely durable with a guaranteed lifespan of 50,000 cycles and a minimum operating voltage of 1.5V.

The working principle of the HM2S30PE5101L9LF is very simple. When the socket section and the attached PCB are inserted into the mating receptacle, they make contact with the series of spring loaded contacts. This allows for the fast and reliable connection of the two parts to the receptacle. A secure connection is formed when the force used to insert the socket into the receptacle compresses the spring loaded contacts of the connector. The connection remains securely in place until the removal force is applied.

In short, the HM2S30PE5101L9LF is a 30-way High Density Vertical Cable Socket Connector from Molex, designed for industrial and military use. It uses a two-part construction with connection made using a proprietary wire snap-in technology. Its main application fields are in the telecom, medical, industrial and military markets and it provides reliable interconnects for high speed/high density applications. Its working principle is based on spring loaded contacts that ensure secure connections on insertion and removal.
