Backplane Connectors - DIN 41612

DIN 41612 is a reliable and well-known type of backplane connector for industrial electronic applications. Developed by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) for power and signal transfer, this connector type is widely used throughout Europe and the United States.

The DIN 41612 connectors are designed for printed circuit boards which are meant to be used for power or signal transmission. It is used in a variety of applications but they are most commonly found in embedded computer systems, communications, automotive, industrial control systems and telecommunications equipment. It is particularly used in applications where a certain level of protection should be provided for the connections, or in cases where space limitations or high-density connector configurations are needed.

These connectors consist of two unshielded parts, an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing contains the connection terminals and the lower housing consists of the mounting holes, which mount onto a printed circuit board. The housing is made of an insulating material, usually Polyamide (PA) or Polycarbonate (PC) and the terminals are made of copper or gold plated pins.

DIN 41612 uses specific socket types for signal and power connections. The signal contacts are identified by a “S” and the power contacts by a “P” followed by a number indicating the number of poles. Each socket type is color-coded to ensure proper wiring and there is a variety of sizes, shapes and configurations.

In order to ensure reliable transmission of signals and power, the DIN 41612 uses different kinds of contact technologies. These include:• Board-to-board crimp contacts – These types of connectors are used for power or signal transmission between two printed circuit boards. The contacts are soldered onto the circuit boards and then the connector is pinched onto the boards to make the connection.

• Board-to-cable connectors – These connectors are used to transmit both power and signal from a printed circuit board to a cable. The connector is soldered onto the board and the cable is attached to the connector. The connector is then crimped onto the board to make the connection.

• Cables-only connector--This type of connector is used to transmit power or signal from a cable-to-cable, without the need of soldering onto a printed circuit board. The connector is crimped onto the cable to make the connection.

The DIN 41612 connectors have been designed with reliability in mind and are widely used in various industrial electronic applications such as telecommunications, power and data management systems, embedded computer systems and more.

The DIN 41612 connectors are designed to provide a reliable and secure connection for power and signal transmission in harsh and tough environment. With its robust and IEC compliant design, it is suitable for a wide range of industrial electronic applications.
