Backplane Connectors - Hard Metric, Standard

The 17122504601 is one of the latest range of backplane connectors from 3M Electronic Solutions Division. It is part of the 3M Hard Metric and 3M Standard Series. The Hard Metric Series is designed for the most demanding applications, with up to 96 contacts per row. They are capable of speeds up to 25 Gbps and have the longest available cabling ranges, up to 25 meters. The 3M Standard Series provides more cost-effective solutions with up to 80 contacts per row. They are capable of speeds of up to 9.5 Gbps and the cabling range is up to 15 meters.

The 17122504601 has two main parts, the female connector and the plug. The female connector has a double row of 12 gold contacts on each side and is made from 3M\'s DuPont Thermofuse material. The plug is a single row of 4 gold contacts and is also made from the same DuPont Thermofuse material. The contacts are rated to carry up to 1.2 amps of current and a maximum voltage of 3.3 volts.

The 17122504601 can be used in a variety of applications including signal and power distribution, telecommunications, multimedia, and computer control systems. The Hard Metric and Standard Series are compatible with a wide range of connectors, allowing for easy integration across multiple systems. In addition, the connectors can be easily integrated into existing systems with no need for additional adaptations.

The working principle for the 17122504601 is based on the Gold Plated Omnetron Interface (GPOI). This technology allows for connection between the female and plug contacts in a fast and reliable way. The contacts are in two separate layers, the top layer acting as the actual contacts while the bottom layer serves as a ground plane. This enables the contacts to resist damage and corrosion. The connections are also designed to not interfere with the signals being transmitted. Finally, a special grommet is used to ensure that the plug stays securely connected to the female connector.

In closing, the 17122504601 from 3M Electronic Solutions Division is a high-quality, rugged and reliable backplane connector. It is suitable for a range of applications and is easy to integrate into existing systems. It uses the Gold Plated Omnetron Interface to ensure a secure and reliable connection, and has been designed to resist damage and corrosion while also ensuring minimal signal interference.
