Backplane Connectors - DIN 41612

The DIN 41612 backplane connectors are highly reliable, modular connectors commonly used in modern electronics and data systems. They allow for easy installation and maintenance of systems, and can often be used to interconnect various components of an electrical system. The DIN 41612 backplane connectors can be found in a wide range of applications, including computers, telecommunications, military, aerospace, automotive and many other industries.

The DIN 41612 connector system consists of several components. The main component is a backplane connector, which is typically an automotive-style rectangular electrical connector with female contacts that accept mateable male contacts on the edge of a mating board. A bus bar is then attached to each contact on the backplane connector and connected to the backplane connector with a pogo pin. The backplane connector also has shielding, typically in the form of a metal or plastic cover. The shielding ensures that signals do not escape or become distorted from outside sources, which can cause interference.

The backplane connectors can be used for data transmission of up to 24 gigabits per second, depending on the cable type. The connectors are typically used in the same manner as their predecessor connectors; however they offer significantly improved performance. The superior performance is due to the higher impedance, lower contact resistance, and improved shielding. The connectors feature full shielding, which provides better protection against noise and crosstalk than non-shielded connectors, making them ideal for high-speed data transmissions.

The backplane connectors can be used for a variety of applications. In computers, they can be used to plug in memory modules, processors, and other components. In telecommunications, they can be used to connect circuit boards to backplanes for high-speed data transmission. In the military, they are often used to connect a ship’s electronics systems and networks. In aerospace, they can be used to connect circuits in satellites and space probes. And in automotive, they are often used in vehicle electronics and dashboards.

The working principle of DIN 41612 backplane connectors is based on the simple concept of mating two metal contacts. The male contact, which is connected to the mating board, is inserted into the female contact that is connected to the backplane connector. A spring-loaded pinor contact spring then firmly presses the male contact into the female contact, providing a low-resistance, reliable connection. The connections are secured with a collar, which helps to prevent the connection from becoming loose or disconnected due to vibration or shock.

The DIN 41612 backplane connectors are a reliable, cost-effective solution for many electrical systems. Their superior signal transmission quality combined with their ease of installation and maintenance make them one of the most popular connectors in the industry. They are suited for a wide range of applications and can be used to interconnect various components of an electrical system.
