Backplane Connectors - Hard Metric, Standard

17102002202 is a type of backplane connectors used in high speed, high density electronic applications. Its primary function is to provide electrical connectivity between printed circuit board layers. It supports up to 8 million connections per layer, and it is an ideal choice for high volume production designs. In addition, it is a Hard Metric Standard compliant for use in Europe.

Application Field

17102002202 is suitable for applications such as automotive, aerospace, medical, communications and consumer electronics. It can be used for both board-to-board and Packet Over SONET/SDH connections. Its 2.54mm pitch allows for a high number of pins in a small connector. It also has a fast and reliable connection at up to 12.5 Gbit/s. Furthermore, it has a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +105°C making it suitable for harsh environments.

Working Principle

17102002202 features a split-barrier design and is available in both surface mount and through-hole versions. The design of the connector allows multiple backplanes to be stacked on top of one another. This helps reduce crosstalk and improves signal integrity.

The upper and lower barriers are composed of a number of contact rows. Each contact row contains a signal contact in each corner, and the pin spacing is determined by the chosen plug design. The rows are connected using a shielded metal insert, such as copper or aluminum, which allows signals to travel between contact rows.

The contact rows are then terminated using either soldering or crimping. This ensures a secure and reliable electrical connection between the layers. The lower barriers are then secured to the board using either screws or solder-less lugs, depending on the application.
