212608-1

Backplane connectors are designed to accommodate five to 24 contacts, and they are typically used in highly integrated areas to route signals and communications between boards and daughtercards. 212608-1 backplane connectors are a type of connector in this category, which is commonly referred to as an “edge-card” or “peripheral connector-style” connector, and is designed primarily for use in high-speed communications systems.

The 212608-1 is a two-part card-edge connector system. The two parts function together to form a secure, reliable connection between the backplane and daughtercard. The first part consists of the connector housing that mounts onto the backplane. The second part is a set of spring latches that attach to the daughtercard and engages with the housing when it is inserted into the backplane. The contacts within the connector housing provide electrical connection between the backplane and daughtercard.

The 212608-1 backplane connector was designed for high-speed applications. It features an undercut edge that assures a secure latch engagement between the housing and the latch spring. This connection minimizes the possibility of misalignment during insertion. The contact system is designed to increase retention force between the contacts and the housing, which establishes a reliable, high-performance connection.

The 212608-1 backplane connector features a bayonet locking system. This system ensures that the connector housing remains securely in place when attached to the backplane. The housing is designed to be easy to install and remove, and features a lanyard loop that allows for easy handling.

The 212608-1 backplane connector is designed to provide optimal performance in high-speed communication systems. It is manufactured in a variety of configurations and contact arrangements, and is available in both straight and right-angle versions.

In addition to its use in high-speed communications systems, the 212608-1 backplane connector is also suitable for use in a range of other applications. Some examples include military/defense systems, telecommunications, railway systems, industrial systems, and medical device applications.

The 212608-1 backplane connector has proved to be a reliable, high-performance solution for a range of application areas. It offers customers a secure, reliable connection between backplane and daughter cards while providing optimal performance and easy installation and removal. This versatile solution is ideal for connecting multiple daughtercards with the backplane in complex applications.
