Backplane connectors, also referred to as edge or system connectors, are specialized connectors used to create a physical connection between individual printed circuit boards (PCB) within a system frame or chassis. Backplane connectors are used in a variety of applications including automotive, avionics, telecommunications, and industrial equipment. Backplane connectors are generally divided into two categories, Hard Metric and Standard.

17021754206 Hard Metric Connectors

Hard Metric connectors are standardized units used in equipment that must meet or exceed European EN60-310 specifications. Typical applications for Hard Metric connectors include high speed data transmission for telecommunications, industrial, and medical equipment, as well as embedded computing systems. Such connectors offer advantages over Standard connectors in terms of both signal integrity and cost. Hard Metric connectors use a unique square .8 mm interface, also known as "pitch", to make contact between two boards or panels. The width of the connector is 3.5 mm, while the height of the connector is dependent on the number of pins used.

Hard Metric connectors are built with a double-row interface design, which allows two signal lines for every row of contacts. This double-row design offers a number of advantages, including improved signal integrity, better contact when mating connectors, and greater durability due to the reduction of point-to-point wiring. Hard Metric connectors are also fully isolated, with each contact surrounded by a separate integral insulator, providing a higher contact density than Standard connectors.

17021754206 Standard Connectors

Standard connectors are generally used in equipment that does not require the performance and cost benefits of specifications-based components such as Hard Metric connectors. These application-specific designs are generally used in the automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics markets. Standard connectors offer a smaller size than Hard Metric connections, while still providing adequate signal integrity and durability.

Standard connectors are commonly used in equipment such as consumer electronics, automotive, irrigation systems, and infrastructure systems, as well as high-density devices such as mobile phones and industrial sensors. Standard connectors use a 0.5 mm, two-row interface that is simpler to design, with fewer pins required to achieve the required level of performance. Standard connectors do not provide the isolation of Hard Metric connections, and tend to be larger than Hard Metric connectors.

Conclusion

Backplane connectors are essential components of many different systems and devices. Hard Metric and Standard connectors are two of the most common backplane connectors used in today\'s applications, each offering various advantages and disadvantages. Hard Metric connectors offer better signal integrity and the ability to support higher mating densities, while Standard connectors offer a smaller size and lower cost. When selecting the appropriate connector for a particular application, it is important to consider both performance and cost requirements to ensure that the most suitable connector is used.
