Backplane connectors, also known as a printed circuit board (PCB) connectors, are integrated components used to connect one electronic circuit board to another or to an electronic device. Different types of backplane connectors are designed to fit numerous applications, from backplanes and cable assemblies, to flying leads and various other cables and connectors. The 1766194-1 contact is one type of backplane connector.

The 1766194-1 contact is a dual-row backplane connector designed to fit a wide-ranging variety of backplane systems, as well as addressing dense pin-count requirements. This connector has 76 contacts in a dual-row configuration, with a shallow mount profile for tight backplane design flexibility. This allows the connector to fit into tight areas, while providing reliable contact integrity.

The 1766194-1 contact is a PCB-mounted connection system that permits interconnect of two PCBs while accommodating up to 20A maximum current and operating at 1.27mm nominal pitch. The connectors have a low profile design to allow for effective routing in space-limited applications. They are designed to accommodate various applications by offering a range of wire gauges, including 30AWG, 28AWG, 26AWG and 24AWG. The contacts are RoHS compliant and meet UL flammability ratings to ensure safety and reliability in an industrial environment.

The contact’s working principle is based on a unique combination of features that enhance the connection performance. First, the contacts’ double beveled edges help to ensure high reliability of the connection and minimize insertion force. The contact’s flared entry design also increases the contact area for improved connection integrity. Additionally, the contact’s self-stripping and positive locking features also improve contact reliability and ensure the retention force remains constant over time.

The 1766194-1 contact also features a robust construction design to increase the connector’s life and minimize its overall cost. The contact features a durable metal body and a low-profile shield plate that help protect the contacts from dust and other damaging elements. The contact has a high-temperature rating, allowing it to operate at up to 250°C. Additionally, the contact also has corrosion-resistant plating, which increases the connectors’ reliability and extends its service life.

The 1766194-1 contact is ideal for numerous applications, including computers, servers, industrial automation systems, telecommunications equipment, data storage systems, as well as control and IT systems. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it an ideal choice for connecting two PCBs while maximizing space-efficiency. The contact is also compliant with various industry standards, such as UL 758, CSA C22.2 No. 214-M1983, CSA C22.2 No. 8-M1984-1, IEC 60950-1, RoHS and ISO/IEC 11801-1.

In conclusion, the 1766194-1 contact is a reliable dual-row backplane connector designed to fit a wide range of applications while maximizing space efficiency. It is a versatile and cost-effective connection system that features a robust construction to ensure reliable performance and extended service life.
