50295-5100E

Backplane connectors refer to any connector designed specifically for the mounting of backplane or motherboard components. They provide high performance, high reliability, and low noise levels that are critical in backplane applications. They can also provide a high degree of integration and customization of connection solutions for various boards and components.

50295-5100E, a type of backplane connector developed by TE Connectivity, is a high speed edge-card socket designed to meet the needs of the most compact applications. It has a 270-position density in a 50.9mm x 26.5mm grid. The connector has a combination of 3- and 6-pin plugs and receptacle contacts and features high retention force and keying for polarization.

The application field of the 50295-5100E is mainly for card-edge applications in the medical, telecommunications, storage and embedded computing fields. It can also be used in applications such as routers, switches, and circuit card assemblies.

The working principle of the 50295-5100E involves the insertion of the board card into the receptacle of the backplane in order to create the connection. The plugs are securely retained to the card with the use of retention clips, ensuring that the connection is robust and reliable. The use of a keying feature helps to ensure that the card is inserted correctly, thereby avoiding accidental mismating. The contacts of the connector have been designed to ensure that the electrical connection is efficient, with low noise levels and good signal integrity.

In addition, the 50295-5100E also features a ground shell protection system that helps to reduce the possibility of EMI/RFI interference. This feature also helps to ensure that the connection is secure and reliable on a board-level.

The 50295-5100E is a high performance, reliable, and low noise backplane connector. It is designed to meet the demands of the telecom, storage and embedded computing industries. Due to its combination of features, high retention force, and keying for polarization, this connector is able to provide secure and reliable connections for various boards and components.
