ARINC 1-208972 Backplane Connectors are designed for high speed, mission-critical applications including military, aerospace, and industrial systems such as radar units, embedded computers, and robotic control systems. They provide reliable, high-performance electrical connections for ribbon cables carrying data and power signals between two circuit boards. ARINC 1-208972 connectors are also referred to as CECC 40500 or 88-pin dual row, right angle, wire-to-board connectors.

These connectors have a unique two-piece design that includes a 2-wire serial cable that terminates into the connector body. The two-piece design also features a built-in retention spring that ensures a secure electrical connection when the board is connected to the backplane. This makes the connector more reliable and provides for a greater degree of protection against accidental disconnection.

ARINC 1-208972 connectors consist of two rows, each with 88 terminals. The terminals are crimped down onto the cable to ensure a reliable connection. The terminal design ensures that each pin is aligned correctly to ensure point contact and hole-to-hole contact when mated. The terminals are constructed of brass and plated with gold or nickel to ensure superior electrical performance.

The ARINC 1-208972 connectors feature a single-ended, trace-length and centerline twist solution that enables optimum performance at high speeds. This feature also helps to reduce the risk of signal noise due to differences in rise time constants. The connector also features a pin-in-hole (PIH) guide that reduces the cable misalignment during connection, as well as a retention spring that ensures a secure connection between the backplane and board.

In addition, the ARINC 1-208972 connectors are designed to meet stringent environmental requirements and are EMI/RFI shielded to ensure electromagnetic compatibility. The connectors are also designed to be vibration resistant and double-crimped to ensure secure connections. The design also ensures a high-reliability connection, with a mechanical reliability rating of 10 million cycles.

ARINC 1-208972 connectors are designed to provide reliable performance for mission-critical applications, and they are an ideal choice for high-speed data transfer applications. Their design ensures reliable electrical connections and excellent EMI/RFI shielding, while their small size makes them easy to install even in the tightest spaces. ARINC 1-208972 connectors are becoming increasingly popular in the aerospace, military, and industrial applications.
