516-038-000-561

Backplane connectors, sometimes called printed circuit board connectors, are a type of connector used in the electronic industry for various applications in which two or more flat and parallel electronic boards are interconnected. The 516-038-000-561 backplane connector housing is specifically designed for board-to-board connections in industrial, communication, and computing applications.

Design

These backplane connectors feature a rugged and robust design consisting of two shell-like housings made of zinc die-cast and the contact pins made of phosphor bronze. The two housings are designed to mate with each other and provide maximum durability and reliability. The housings are also available in a variety of plating finishes to suit different application-specific environments. Pins depending on the application can range from 16 to 60 in each shell.

Application Field

The 516-038-000-561 backplane connector housing is mainly used in the industrial, communication, and computing sector, where reliable connectivity between electronic boards is paramount. The connector is well suited for applications such as building automation, industrial automation, IP network devices, storage systems, test and measurement systems, serial ATA architectures, PSU connection, and ASICs.

Working Principle

The two zinc die-cast housings of 516-038-000-561 backplane connection mate together, and the contact pins made of phosphor bronze are preloaded inside. The contacts are gold plated, which makes them robust and highly reliable. Additionally, the latches on either side ensure a secure and robust connection. The connector is then tested and certified to ensure the highest quality standards are met.

Conclusion

The 516-038-000-561 backplane connection housing is designed for reliable connections between two or more flat and parallel electronic boards. The two shells of the connector consist of zinc die-cast housings and are available in different plating finish. The connector is used for a variety of applications in the industrial, communication, and computing sector and provides a reliable connection with its robust and high-quality contact pins.
