17700006004

The 17700006004 backplane connector, also known as the “MiniConnector”, is a versatile, cost-effective, and reliable range of connection components used to interface printed circuit boards with one another. It consists of a single housing (or fitting) that accommodates several female connectors. This connector can either be plugged in directly or used as an adapter to plug into other housing types.

Application Fields

The 17700006004 backplane connector is used extensively in industrial applications, where its high performance and reliable performance make it a preferred choice. It is suitable for use in a variety of industrial environments, including heavy equipment, medical and electronics, automotive, aerospace and aviation, and computer and telecommunications. It is also popular for connecting printed circuit boards (PCBs) for communications applications, as well as for testing and/or diagnostics in both industrial and data processing. It can also be used to connect system backplanes with other external components.

Working Principle

The 17700006004 backplane connector consists of a single fitting that has several female connectors embedded in its housing. When plugging in the connectors, they are resiliently held by the tension of a pinhinge, which keeps the connector in the fitted position. This mechanism also ensures that the connector remains firmly in contact with the backplane when in use. When mounted, the housing can accommodate up to eight (8) connectors, depending on the specific model.

The 17700006004 backplane connector also offers other features such as high-speed transmission, shock and vibration resistance, EMI and ESD protection, and overcurrent protection. The connector also offers a protective cover to maintain the connection integrity and reliability. Additionally, when connected, the connectors are identified by a number painted on their connectors. This helps in identifying the connectors quickly if the connectors have to be adjusted or replaced.

Conclusion

The 17700006004 backplane connector is an advanced, reliable, and cost-effective way of connecting printed circuit boards to each other. Due to its design and features, it is suitable for use in a wide range of industrial and communications applications. It also offers high speed transmission, shock and vibration resistance, EMI/ESD protection, and other additional features. Thus, the 17700006004 backplane connector is an ideal choice for connecting system backplanes and other external components.
