Working Principle

5106726-1 connectors use a physical media (such as copper or aluminum) to transfer electrical signals from one circuit board to another. The physical media also provides a ground connection to reduce electromagnetic interference. The connection consists of two parts – an interconnection board and a backplane — that are connected via a ribbon cable. The backplane is usuallymounted on a rear panel of a server or storage system.

The interconnection board is placed between two circuit boards to act as an interface, to allow the transfer of data. The interconnection board typically contains several contact pads, which are connected to pads on the backplane. The contacts pads on the interconnection board and the pads on the backplane are connected via a ribbon cable, which is usually made of copper or aluminum.

The ribbon cable is then able to carry the signal between the two circuit boards. This allows the circuit boards to communicate with each other, and to transfer data between them.

As well as providing data transfer between the two circuit boards, the interconnection board also provides power for the two boards, and provides ground connections to reduce electromagnetic interference. Lastly, the interconnection board helps to isolate the electrical components from each other, which prevents them from damaging each other.

Conclusion

5106726-1 is a high-performance backplane connector designed for a range of applications, from industrial computing to communication equipment to data storage. It makes use of a physical media to transfer electrical signals from one circuit board to another, as well as providing power for the two boards and shielding against electromagnetic interference. Overall, it is a very useful connector for a variety of applications.
