1746992-1

Backplane connectors are a type of electrical connectors used in electronic devices. The 1746992-1 is a type of backplane connector, classed as a Hard Metric or Standard connector. These connectors have a normal standard pitch and are used for large mating cycles, where there might be a need to separately insert different components of the same card and have them wired quickly. With a standard connector, the pins and sockets are typically arranged in series, so that when one is inserted, all of the others follow in sequence.

Overview

The 1746992-1 is a non-modular, dual-row backplane connector designed to be mounted on an extended printed circuit board. It is made from a combination of non-magnetic glass-filled acrylic and thermoplastic materials, ensuring durability and strength. It is resistant to wear, and vibration and has a low-profile design that accommodates a variety of card-edge type connectors. It is also designed to be used in standard .100" (2.54mm) pitch boards.

The 1746992-1 offers a wide range of design flexibility and is suitable for applications supporting up to 300V DC voltage and a maximum rated current of 40 amperes. It is rated for 40,000 mating cycles and has a contact surface of 15µin gold plating. Additionally, the 1746992-1 can be used in combo systems, enabling a single card and connector to be used in different combinations, making it ideal for those who are looking to lighten their system’s overall weight.

Application Field

The 1746992-1 is designed for high-current applications and is suitable for use in a wide range of devices. It is ideal for use in card cages and backplanes, control panels, instrumentation, portable equipment, office equipment, and computer systems. It is also suitable for use in medical, automotive, and aerospace applications, industrial machinery, robotics, and home entertainment systems.

Working Principle

The 1746992-1 uses a combination of magnetic and non-magnetic materials to create an electrical connection between two pieces of printed circuit board. The magnetic material provides a current path, while the thermoplastic and acrylic materials form a rigid mechanical connection. This ensures that the connection is secure and able to withstand wear and fatigue over long term usage.

The 1746992-1 is designed to be used with a card-edge type connector and is able to be used with a wide variety of connectors. It features a universal design, so that it is able to connect with a range of card-edge type connectors, without the need to make changes. This ensures compatibility with a variety of types of equipment and reduces installation time.

The 1746992-1 features a low-profile design, which makes it suitable for applications with limited space. This makes it the ideal choice for those who do not have the luxury of extra space to work with. Additionally, it is designed with a thermoplastic and acrylic material blend which ensures stability and durability. This ensures that the connection is secure and able to withstand the rigors of long-term usage.

Conclusion

The 1746992-1 is a Hard Metric or Standard backplane connector designed to provide a secure electrical connection in applications with large mating cycles. It is suitable for use in various applications, including control panels, portable equipment, office equipment, and medical, automotive, and aerospace devices. It is also able to be used with a wide variety of card-edge type connectors, making it an ideal choice for those who are looking to reduce their installation time. Additionally, it features a thermoplastic and acrylic material blend, providing superior durability and stability for long term usage.
