07730000291 Backplane Connectors - Accessories

Backplane connectors are used for many electro-mechanical interconnection systems, including computer systems, motor control systems, and information/data processing systems. A typical backplane connector typically consists of several pins or sockets arranged in a single array, each with a specific mating configuration. The pins/sockets generally support a variety of different signal or power types.

The 07730000291 backplane connector is a versatile connector designed for use in high speed midplane applications such as continuous current and/or high voltage applications. It is a multi-pole, right-angle, through-hole connector with socket contacts. It is constructed of an insulating core material with plated brass contacts, together with thermoplastic housing material. The thermoplastic housing material provides electrical insulation, noise reduction and increased strength. It has a snap-fits actuator which holds the contacts in place, making them easier to assemble and ensures secure electrical connection.

The connector has a maximum rated current of 20 Amps, with a voltage rating of 500 Volts. It is designed for use with printed circuit boards (PCBs), flat cables and ribbon cables. It is designed to withstand operating temperatures of -40 to +105° Celsius, with a minimum of 10mm stack height. It has a floating contact design which eliminates soldering, and ensures good contact force between pins and sockets.

In terms of working principle, the 07730000291 backplane connector is designed to interconnect circuit boards via a series of mating pins. The pins are inserted into their respective sockets, and a floating mechanism is operated to ensure positive contact. The pins are held in place via a fixed mechanism that prevents the pins from being pulled out. The pins are then flooded with pin-locating liquids or taping to prevent dust and dirt from entering and impairing contact performance. The socket is also filled with inserting oil when mounted on a printed circuit board to protect against dust and corrosion.

Overall, the 07730000291 backplane connector is a versatile and reliable connector designed for midplane applications with a wide range of current and voltage ratings. It has a snap-fits actuator which holds the contacts in place, making them easier to assemble and ensures secure electrical connection. It also has a floating contact design which eliminates soldering and provides good contact force between pins and sockets.
