213672-3 Connectors, Interconnects

Backplane connectors are essential components of electrical networks and computers. They provide physical connection between two or more computer cards or other electronic equipment for transmitting electrical signals. There is a wide variety of backplane connectors available on the market, and each connector is designed for a specific application. The 213672-3 is one type of specialized backplane connector used in Ethernet and multimedia equipment.

The 213672-3 is a specialized 50-Ohm, single-ended backplane connector. It is designed for high-speed applications where less than 100ps rise time and low crosstalk noise is necessary. This connector is widely used in Ethernet and multimedia applications, including 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T Ethernet, 110/136/155/155 STM-1/155 ATM, and GSM/CDMA/TCP/UDP multimedia communication. It\'s a high-precision connector with a tight coupling structure that ensures reliable mating and provides high crosstalk performance.

The 213672-3 connector has four distinct components: a single-ended female faceplate, a male pin, an insulating body and a locking mechanism. The housing consists of two parts, a male-pin end and a female-faceplate end. A DIP (“dual-in-line”) socket is molded into the body of the male-pin end of the connector. The female-faceplate end consists of a plastic shelter that holds the blades. Each blade on the female-faceplate has a contact point, which when mated with the pin on the male-pin end transmits the electrical signals.

The locking mechanism of the 213672-3 connector is designed to securely attach and lock the connector when connected. It uses two steel clips locking both the male-pin end and female-faceplate end of the connector. The steel clips also act as a shock absorber to prevent the connector from being damaged in case of an unexpected shock. The steel clips can only be opened when both the male-pin end and female-faceplate end of the connector are disconnected.

The working principle of the 213672-3 connector is simple. It provides a reliable connection between two or more electronic devices. When the connectors are mated, the contact point on the female-faceplate blade transmits the electrical signal to the pin on the male-pin end. The locking mechanism ensures a secure connection and shock absorption. When the connector is disconnected, the locking mechanism releases the connection.

The 213672-3 connector is commonly used in Ethernet and multimedia applications. It provides reliable transmission of signals in high-speed applications with low crosstalk noise. Due to its secure locking mechanism, it is shock-resistant and provides a secure and reliable connection between electronic devices. It is easy to install and use, making it an ideal choice for Ethernet and multimedia applications.
