The DIN 41612 connector is a backplane connector used in various electronic systems to establish connections between board-to-board devices. It is one of the most widely used technologies used in modern enterprise computing, industrial equipment, computing systems, and more. Specifically, the DIN 41612 connector is used for bus applications, where applications may range from Ethernet to analogue signals.

DIN 41612 connectors are designed for use in equipment that operates with high frequencies in the GHz range. They can be used for generic signal transmission, but their primary purpose is to support high-speed pulse signal transmission. They are particularly suitable for applications in telecommunications, because they support high-speed and reliable data communication between devices.

The DIN 41612 connectors consist of two individual contact system modules which are attached to a common dielectric. This dielectric acts as an insulator and it is typically made of ceramic, composite, PTFE or polyimide. Each module consists of a bus line set, the ground contact line, and the optional pull-ups lines. The connector module also includes a fixed contact line set, which is used to provide a reference voltage to potential signals.

These connectors also feature a robust contact system which ensures that the contacts cannot be pulled away from the module and the contact spring mechanism ensures that the contacts make a perfect connection with the module. The contacts are usually insulated with PTFE and the contact spring is electrically isolated from the module. The contacts can be soldered on the surface of the module or inserted into a soldered hole.

These connectors are used in a wide range of applications depending on the application requirements. They are usually used for high-speed and signal switching applications. They may also be used in parallel port applications or for controlling keyboard and mouse interfaces. The connectors are also used in medical and military applications where they are used to provide reliable connections between the respective instruments and devices.

The DIN 41612 connector offers an excellent combination of performance, cost, and reliability, making it a popular choice for applications that require fast and reliable connections between devices. Additionally, due to their design, these connectors can be used on a wide variety of bus interfaces, from PCIe to ATM. In other words, DIN 41612 connectors offer a wide range of options to meet the application needs of a variety of electronic systems.
