Backplane Connectors - Hard Metric, Standard

The 17021752203 is a hard metric backplane connector that is compliant with the universally accepted PICMG standard. It is commonly used in applications such as embedded systems, industrial automation, military/aerospace systems, telecommunications, and medical applications.

Features

• Molded ferrule-type construction
• Contact eye based design with lower insertion force
• High current-carrying capability
• Two to four contacts, front and back, for greater power handling
• Compatible with PC and ATX system boards
• Two-level contactable mating interface with moderate mating force
• Permanent alignment and stability during mating cycles
• Strain relief via cable contact retention

The 17021752203 has a small form factor, and is lightweight, making it suitable for dense applications. The hard metric design means it mates with hard metric and is compatible with standard boards. The connector offers higher current-carrying capability than traditional connectors. The contacts are staggered for improved alignment during mating, providing greater signal integrity. The addition of two to four contacts, front and back, makes the connector more stable and robust for higher power requirements.

Working Principle

The primary function of the 17021752203 backplane connector is to provide an electrical connection between circuit boards in a device. The connector consists of two halves: the male plug and female receptacle. The male plug connects to the printed circuit board and the female receptacle, or jack, is mounted in the enclosure. The two halves are mated together, forming a continuous electrical path between the circuit boards.

When the male plug and female receptacle are mated together they form a complete electrical circuit. The male plug features contacts that are in contact with the printed circuit board. These contacts complete the circuit when the female receptacle is mated with the male plug. The contacts are arranged in a staggered pattern, which helps to maintain alignment during mating. The male plug features two to four contacts at both the front and the back for improved power and signal carrying capabilities.

The 17021752203 backplane connector is engineered to provide a reliable electrical connection. The male plug and female receptacle are designed to hold firmly in place during mating cycles. This ensures that the connection stays secure and stable. The connector also features strain relief via cable contact retention. This prevents accidental cable detachment and further helps to maintain secure connections.

Applications

The 17021752203 backplane connector is commonly used in embedded systems, industrial automation, military and aerospace systems, telecommunications, and medical applications. The small form factor makes it suitable for use in space-constrained environments. The hard metric design and the high current-carrying capability make it well-suited for applications where power and signal reliability are of vital importance.

Conclusion

The 17021752203 is a hard metric backplane connector that is compliant with the universally accepted PICMG standard. It features a molded ferrule-type construction, contact eye based design, and two to four contacts, front and back, for higher power handling. The connector offers increased current-carrying capability and improved signal integrity. It is lightweight and suitable for space-constrained environments and is used for applications requiring high power and signal reliability.
