DIN 41612 Backplane connectors are a type of connector developed by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN). DIN connectors provide efficient and reliable connections between electronic components, whether for communications, power, or data signalling. While very common in Europe, these connectors are increasingly popular in other markets, particularly in North America.

The DIN 41612 family includes both power and signal connectors for systems ranging from 10 to 100 pins. The connectors are well-suited for boards, backplanes, and panels where density is important. DIN 41612 Plus connectors offer many of the same attributes, but with a larger pin header, allowing for higher density and more secure connections.

DIN 41612 connectors are used for a wide variety of applications, ranging from rugged applications in industrial markets to high-speed applications in telecom and GPS applications. The connectors are designed for use in harsh environments, with high-temperature and shock/vibration resistance. In addition, external lever locking mechanisms can be incorporated for increased security, where necessary.

These connectors feature an innovative design, with a minimum number of components and an efficient modularity concept. The basic design of the DIN 41612 backplane connector series is a double-sided female connector, with several interlock mechanisms and reliable contact systems that ensure secure connections. The design includes high-frequency and power contacts with optimized spacing between contacts, ensuring reliable signal transfer and improved system efficiency.

The core of each contact is made of phosphor bronze and is gold plated with a flash coat of nickel. This combination of metals prevents the sockets from sticking and improves contact resistance. The contacts feature an enhanced shock-resistant design, which helps to absorb mechanical stresses and prevent contact degradation.

The contacts are securely held in place by a robust housing, which is designed to be corrosion- and shock-resistant for increased longevity. The housing is also equipped with an integrated ESD protection system, which increases the connectors’ reliability in demanding environments.

DIN 41612 backplane connectors are a reliable and efficient solution for communications, power, and data signalling needs. They provide secure and robust connections for boards, backplanes, and panels, and are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and shocks. The connectors feature an innovative design, with a minimum number of components and an efficient modularity concept that ensures reliable signal transfer and enhanced system efficiency.
