148425-5

Backplane Connectors - DIN 41612 offer a variety of solutions for backplane and board-to-board connection of signal and power in electronic equipment. The standard DIN 41612 connector family is modular, meaning that it has a range of consistent and interchangeable parts that can be used to build a custom connector solution. The 148425-5 version of this connector, which is also referred to as the “high density interconnect female connector”, is used for high-speed data transmission. It can provide very good contact performance and an excellent air gap between the contact pins.

The 148425-5 backplane connector is used for applications requiring high-speed data transmission. It is commonly used in industrial automation, rack and panel distributed control systems, and routers. This connector is also well suited for situations where weight and height of the connector need to be minimized. Additionally, it is often used in high vibration environments, such as those found in test and measurement equipment.

The 148425-5 backplane connector works by making a high-density connection between two or more circuit boards with an array of contacts. The contacts are arranged in a \'cavityless\' design with blind mating, meaning the contacts are directly connected to each circuit board without an intervening gap. This design improves the speed of transmission by reducing the air gap between the contact pins, while also optimizing pin count and signal integrity. The contact pins are made of gold-plated beryllium copper, which provides a very low contact resistance. The mating of the two connectors requires use of a tool that can push the connector into place with the necessary force.

In order to maintain reliable performance of these connectors and ensure proper operation, they require regular cleaning and maintenance. It is recommended to clean the connectors with isopropyl alcohol on a regular basis, as well as inspect them for any signs of corrosion or other damage. Additionally, if applicable, it is important to check the tool used to mate the connectors for any wear or damage. With proper care and maintenance, the 148425-5 backplane connector can provide reliable service and a good performing connection.
