352715-1

Backplane connectors provide key links within the data communication network, enabling high speed transmission for today’s digital applications. Backplane connectors can be classified in three main categories: Hard Metric, Standard and Space-Saving. A specific example of this is the 352715-1, a backplane connector used for highspeed and high-power transmission.

Application Field

The 352715-1 is particularly suitable for switching power supply applications, power amplifier circuits, and LED applications. It is designed to provide a reliable connection between circuit boards over long distances and in high temperature working conditions. It features two high-speed data transmission channels that support differential pairs of 50Ω, allowing it to work with high-speed signal processors.

In addition, it is commonly used in computer processing systems that use high power communications cables such as Fibre Channel, InfiniBand and Ethernet. It is specifically designed for high-density applications that require reliable electrical contact and high-speed operation.

Working Principle

The 352715-1 backplane connector utilizes the method of Direct Board Attachment (DBA) technology. This technology uses \'pin-grid\' designs which allow the connector to be easily attached to a circuit board prior to insertion into a backplane. This greatly simplifies the process of connecting individual components into a single system.

The connector also utilizes an electrical contact retention system which exerts a constant tension force on the electrical contacts to ensure a secure and reliable connection. This tension system helps eliminate the possibility of electrical disconnection under high-speed and high-power conditions.

Conclusion

The 352715-1 backplane connector is used in a wide range of high speed, high-power applications. It is designed with two high-speed data transmission channels that support differential pairs of 50Ω, allowing it to work with high-speed signal processors. It is firmly secured to circuit boards using DBA technology which also eliminates the need for soldering. The electrical contact retention system helps ensure secure and reliable connections even under extreme conditions of speed and power.
