174254-1

DIN 41612 is a family of backplane connectors used for connecting circuit boards inside a larger electronic assembly and providing both power and signal connections. The most commonly used version of this type of connector is the 174254-1, which is a three-row version with each row containing 16, 32, or 48 contacts. The basic design consists of two mating parts, known as the plug and the socket.

The 174254-1 connector consists of a male plug and a female socket that are mated together with a latching system. The latching system ensures that the plug and socket remain connected while allowing for easy disconnection when desired. The plug has multiple rows of pins arranged in a parallel pattern, which contact the socket’s corresponding contacts when the plug is inserted. The pins are connected to a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) which serves as the voltage and signal carrier.

Due to its low cost and easy installation, DIN 41612 has become a popular choice for interconnecting circuit boards in various applications. It is commonly used in telecommunications, data processing, industrial automation, instrumentation, and military applications. In addition, the 174254-1 connector is also widely used in buses and other commercial applications, since it combines both power and signal transmission.

The working principle of the 174254-1 connector is relatively simple. The plug is inserted into the socket and the mating system ensures that the pins remain connected. When the plug is inserted, the signal pins connect to their respective contacts and the power pins provide power to the corresponding contacts. The contacts are arranged in such a way that when the power pins and signal pins are connected, the PCBs, processors, and other components are powered up and can transfer data.

Because of its popularity, the 174254-1 connector has a wide range of applications. It is used in both home and office networks to create a wired connection between computers and other devices. It is also used in the manufacture of circuit boards, factory automation systems, and many other devices. It is also used in automotive, aviation, and marine applications.

The 174254-1 DIN 41612 connector is ideal for backplane applications, due to its robust construction and versatile design. It is also easy to install and, combined with its low cost, makes it an economical choice for a variety of applications. With its reliable performance and wide range of applications, the 174254-1 DIN 41612 connector is sure to remain a popular choice for many years to come.
