Backplane Connectors - DIN 41612

The DIN 41612 connectors are a type of backplane connectors which bridge the gap between communication networks and system components. They are used in baseboard systems to connect high-speed buses, data processing elements, fieldbus systems, and system control functions.

Application Field

The DIN 41612 connector is a popular choice for medium to large industrial applications, due to its modular, rugged design and broad compatibility. Additionally, its grids are designed for fast and reliable hot-swapping, making it ideal for system expansion or redeployment. It is widely used in telecommunications, aviation, and military applications, and is also suitable for a range of industrial applications such as factory automation, robotics, and instrumentation.

Working Principle

DIN 41612 connectors make use of a male/female type mating system, which allows the connector to slide together for quick and secure assembly. It has four rows of contacts, arranged in two columns on each side, which are connected by shorting links. The design allows for both knuckle and surge protection for each of the contacts, and also allows for Wave/Eye/Sensitivity testing. The connector is designed to withstand high temperatures (up to +1000 degrees Celsius) and mechanical stresses.
