122A10369X

The 122A10369X is a backplane connector from the DIN 41612 family of products. It is an industry standard, high-performance connector, frequently used in backplane and motherboard applications. It has a rugged design, making it reliable and long-lasting. It is designed to support multiple types of data rates, including 2.5 Gbps (2.5 Gb/s) and 12.5 Gbps (12.5 Gb/s).

The 122A10369X connector uses two different contact types: M/A (modular/adapter) and B/A (best/worst) pairs. M/A contacts are designed to be inserted first, as they are easier to mate. B/A contacts are inserted after the M/A contacts and are designed to offer high performance and reliability in B/A pair mating schemes. The M/A and B/A contacts are used together to mate with a corresponding backplane connector. This allows the 122A10369X to offer superior performance in applications where multiple data rates are required.

The 122A10369X connector achieves this superior performance by combining several features. First, the connector has two times the contact density compared to other backplane connectors, supporting increased density and increased data rates. Second, the integral lock mechanism locks the contacts in place, ensuring a secure mating. The keying system also reduces EMI incidents caused from mismatched contacts. The connector uses gold-plated contacts, providing maximum electrical and thermal cycling performance thanks to the corrosion-resistance properties of gold.

The design of the 122A10369X connector facilitates quick and easy installation. With the integrated lance mechanism, the contacts can be inserted quickly and easily, using minimal torque. The connector can also be quickly removed, as it has a mechanical release system, which disengages the connector from the backplane. The connector is also RoHS compliant, meeting strict environmental standards.

The 122A10369X connector is used in applications such as industrial computing, networking, and telecoms. The wide range of application fields makes the connector ideal for many different installations. The connector is also used in high-density backplane applications, where high-speed and reliable performance are essential. The versatility and superior performance of the 122A10369X make it the connector of choice for backplane and motherboard applications.
