1-1612256-2

The 1-1612256-2 is an application-specific type of backplane connector and housing, designed for use in specialized applications where a high degree of performance and reliability is required. It is made from a high-performance glass-filled thermoplastic material, making it resistant to oils, acid, and abrasion. The connector features two rows of eight contacts on each row, with additional ground pins for added vibration and temperature protection. It is designed for use in the 16-position backplane architecture.

The connector housing is designed for quick and easy installation into its mating backplane receptacle. The two-part housing is secured in place by four retention features. These features ensure that the connector housing remains locked and in place, preventing vibration from loosening the connection. It also provides protection from dust and contamination.

The working principle of the connector is based on the concept of “crimp” technology. This involves using a tool to apply pressure to a pair of crimping contacts in order to make a secure electrical connection between the pins. The contacts are made from a tough alloy, which provides a highly reliable connection that lasts for thousands of mating cycles. Furthermore, the connection is protected against shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures.

The 1-1612256-2 is a reliable and efficient backplane interconnect system that provides superior performance and reliability in any application. Its mechanical design ensures that it stays firmly in place, and its superior electrical and environmental performance make it ideal for critical applications. It is suitable for use in commercial and industrial applications, such as communications, transportation, and military/aerospace.
