Backplane Connectors - Contacts

Backplane connectors are mainly used to connect boards in a system, which helps to facilitate the data and power transmission between modules. They can be used even in tight space to save the PCB real estate. And the 148534-1 application field and working principle is one of the most popular connector types because of its compact size and high performance.

148534-1 Application Field and Working Principle

The 148534-1 backplane connectors are widely used in the environmental conditions with vibration, shock and temperature fluctuations, due to the incorporated dampers which enable it to endure thermal shock, vibration, and other dynamic effects. This type of backplane connector has the contact design of 44 contacts on a 0.050" pitch, which is suitable for high speed applications. It is applied for various reliability and ruggedness requirements, such as signal and power or differential and high speed transmission. The operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C allows a wide range of applications.

The 148534 is manufactured with both board-to-board and cable-to-board configurations. The board-to-board version with high stacking height can save the PCB real-estate and reduce the board-to-board space to 9.7mm. The cable-to-board one can also support the ribbon cable assembly, which allows for easy on-site replacement. The low insertion force and with-drawl force of the 148534 are available in both vertical and right-angle orientations.

The design of 148534-1 backplane connector has a two-part mating which allows for simple mating and unmating. The first part contains the contact which mates with edge on the PCB or the cable, and then latching is achieved by pressing the second part of the connector with two pins at its sides. It is designed with beveled edges at the mating part, which helps to ensure the correct mating. The combination of high-speed, scalability, and right angle or vertical mounting options make this backplane connector an ideal solution.

In conclusion, 148534-1 is a widely used backplane connector that offers users high performance, ruggedness, and scalability with different mounting options as well. It has a two-part mating design which allows for simple mating and unmating. It also features beveled edges for precise mating. This connector is ideal for applications that require signal and power or differential and high-speed transmission in a variety of environmental conditions.
