Backplane connectors are devices used to link together two or more printed circuit boards in a variety of electronic equipments. Depending on the type of application, the choice of backplane connectors changes significantly. Generally, there are three main types of backplane connectors: Hard Metric, Standard, and Augmented Backplane connectors. This article will focus specifically on Hard Metric and Standard backplane connectors with the example of the particular model 5106015-4.

Hard Metric backplane connectors are designed to connect multi-layer printed circuit boards with a standard row spacing of 1/8th inch. The 5106015-4 connector is part of the Hard Metric family of backplane connectors and comes in a shielded 5mm pitch design. The board-to-board gaps between the printed circuit boards that this connector interconnects are accomodated with insulation displacement contacts so as to ensure there is a safe and reliable connection. The connectors feature multiple rows of insulation displacement contact contacts which all have the same characteristics regardless of the size or connector layout.

Conversely, Standard backplane connectors are created to connect multiple printed circuit boards with a variety of pitches ranging from 0.5mm to 11.0mm. The 5106015-4 is quite unique amongst the Standard backplane connectors as it utilises a shielded 5mm pitch. The connector is equipped with cover caps to protect the insulation displacement contacts from dust and moisture and the contact spring system ensures a reliable electrical connection. It is also noted that the 5106015-4 has a smaller footprint than the majority of other Standard backplane connectors.

How then does the 5106015-4 backplane connector actually work? Well, when two printed circuit boards are mated together, the insulation displacement contacts automatically bridge the gaps between the printed circuit boards. These contacts are then secured by the contact spring system which applies light pressure to the connectors for a more secure connection. The insulation displacement contacts are designed to transmit both power and signals, so the connector can be used for a variety of different applications.

The 5106015-4 backplane connector is incredibly versatile and robust. The combination of Hard Metric and Standard technology enables the connector to be used for a wide variety of applications, ranging from communications devices to medical equipments. Increasingly, the 5106015-4 connector is becoming a popular choice for printed circuit boards thanks to its reliable connection, compact footprints, and trouble-free installation.
