Backplane connectors are a type of electrical connectors specifically designed for use on the backplane of computers. Backplane connectors provide connections between cards or circuit boards in modular electronic equipment. ARINC 1663557-2 connectors are a military standard type of backplane connectors used for high speed data applications on tactical platforms. This particular connector type is relatively small, with a ruggedized form factor.

The ARINC 1663557-2 connector was designed for applications that require both exceptionally high-speed data transmission and exceptional ruggedness and dependability. Its dimensions are 2.6cm x 1.3cm x 2.6cm, making it extremely compact even for military applications. The connector is designed using surface mount solder techniques, using nanocoatings and conformally coated parts to ensure durability and high levels of contact reliability in high shock and vibration environments.

The ARINC 1663557-2 connector is designed primarily for high speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/sec, but can be excellent for higher speed applications when properly engineered. With its ruggedized form factor and high contact densities, the connector can provide superior signal integrity performance. The connectors are further designed to reject interference from outside sources, protecting the signal path from signal loss due to interference. The connectors also offer hot plugging capabilities, allowing for cards to be swapped out with minimal disruption to other systems.

In addition to offering high speed data transmission, ARINC 1663557-2 connectors also offer high static contact resistance, resulting in low contact wear and emissions levels, resulting in improved system performance and reliability. The ruggedized form factor also ensures a lightweight, low profile design and reliable contact densities. The contacts are also designed to be self-cleaning, helping ensure the system’s performance over time.

ARINC 1663557-2 connectors provide the ultimate in high speed data transmission, ruggedness and dependability. Its compact form factor, high contact density, signal shielding, and hot plugging capabilities make it an ideal choice for military applications. The connector is designed for use in high shock and vibration environments, and offers the best in performance, reliability and contact wear resistance.
