203966-1 Connectors, Interconnects

Backplane connectors are also referred to as slot connectors or backplane interface connectors. They are used in electronics as a type of electrical connector which provides an interface for electrical connections between two or more printed circuit boards (PCBs). Backplane connectors are often used in complex electronic systems, such as computer systems, where multiple printed circuit boards are interconnected to create a larger electronic system. Connections between the individual circuit boards in a computer system are typically made via the backplane connector interface. The 203966-1 backplane connector is a popular model of backplane connector and is available from a wide variety of manufacturers.

203966-1 Application Field and Working Principle

The 203966-1 is a high-density type of connector specifically designed for PCI Express x16 applications. It offers a maximum data transfer rate of up to 8 Gbps, as well as a minimum air-gap of only 0.75mm, which makes it highly suitable for tight mounting spaces. As the interface type is PCI Express x16, the 203966-1 can be used in many electronic systems where large bandwidths and faster data transfer rates are required. These include computer systems, graphics cards, storage systems, and industrial machines.

The 203966-1 backplane connector has a multi-pin design with a total of sixteen different differential contact points, making it highly suitable for applications requiring a high-density of data connections. The contact points are held in place within a metal shell, which also helps ensure a strong and secure connection. The 203966-1 connector uses a flexible polarizing rod, which helps to prevent unwanted insertion and misalignment when connecting. The connector also features a standard receptacle that can be fitted onto any numbered backplane, allowing for easy and efficient attachment of the connector.

When powered, the 203966-1 backplane connector allows electrical signals to flow between the two pieces of equipment. The contact points within the connector create an electrical connection when power is applied, allowing for efficient transmission of data. In addition, the flexible polarizing rod ensures that the connector is properly aligned and inserted into the backplane socket. This also helps to prevent any misalignment and helps ensure that the optimal data transfer rate is achieved.
