Backplane Connectors - DIN 41612

DIN 41612 is a series of backplane connectors. It is a commercial standard connector developed by Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN), a German standardization organization and defined by DIN 41 612-1 and DIN 41612-2. It is broadly used in communications, industrial automation and embedded systems.

Definition of DIN 41612

DIN 41612 is an interconnect standard for backplane connectors. The backplane connectors used for this interconnect are a series of co-planar connectors that mate together. They provide electrical or optical pathways in between system components and printed circuit boards (PCBs). This connector can be used in different configurations for single-row, multi-row, single-layer, and multi-layer configurations.

Features of DIN 41612

DIN 41612 is manufactured using high grade plastic, that provides mechanical strength as well as reliable electrical connection. The connector body has two separate rows of terminals. The terminals are gold plated to ensure low contact resistance and improved corrosion resistance. The connectors comply with both EIA and DIN standards. The connector has three different sizes; 12, 16 and 22 position, with seven different variations of mating height. The narrow pin design of the DIN 41612 provides a good solution where space is limited.

Application Field and Working Principle

The DIN 41612 backplane connector is mainly used in the communications, industrial automation and embedded systems. Examples include communication hubs, data storage devices, switches, routers,industrial robots, controllers, and more. This type of connector is becoming increasingly popular for use in board-to-board connections, because of its reliable connection and wide range of application.

The working principle of DIN 41612 connectors is simple. When two connectors mate together, they provide a reliable electrical connection between the devices. The pins in the connector are covered with gold plating that improves its electrical properties. This helps to reduce the contact resistance and protect the pins from corrosion.

The DIN 41612 backplane connector is an excellent choice for those looking to provide a reliable electrical connection in applications where space is limited. It offers a wide range of sizes and configurations to match almost any application needs, and its gold plated pins ensure a reliable electrical connection.
