Working Principle

The 516-056-000-261 Backplane Connector works on the same principle as other Backplane Connectors - a male Contact is inserted into a female connector, forming a secure and reliable connection. The male contact has two parts - an outer shell and an inner contact. The inner contact is made of conductive material like copper or aluminum and is designed to fit snugly in the female contact. The outer shell is designed to provide additional protection and hold the two contacts together.

Once the male and female contacts are connected, the two contacts form an electrical path. This is known as the “signal path”, and it is used to transfer signals from one point to another. The signal is transmitted through the outer shell and inner contact, allowing for reliable and efficient data transfer.

The 516-056-000-261 Backplane Connector offers excellent performance in terms of signal integrity and speed. It is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and environmental conditions, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications.

The 516-056-000-261 Backplane Connector is an ideal choice for applications that require a reliable and high-speed connection. It is widely used in industrial, avionic, and medical applications, as well as in data storage, networking, and audio/video applications.
