51730-080LF

Backplane Connectors are specialized connectors which provide a means of connecting between the printed circuit board and backplane or backplane and backplane. The most common type is the 51730-080LF, an eight-dimensional, shielded backplane connector that features a locked/ground design and low contact resistance.

The 51730-080LF backplane connector has a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in data, communication and control applications to provide a secure and reliable connection for transfer of both signals and power. Due to its locked/ground design and low contact resistance, it is often used in applications that require minimal crosstalk and high shielding. Examples of applications that use these types of connectors include automotive, medical electronics, military systems and telecommunications.

The working principle of the 51730-080LF backplane connector is fairly straightforward. The connector is designed with two sliding plastic shells that house two rows of contact pins. Each of these contact pins has a zinc-plated steel shell and an insulated nylon inner sleeve. This shell, when inserted into the backplane, makes contact with the contact pins. The contact pins then pass the signals or power to the desired component.

The 51730-080LF backplane connector also provides two additional features, board locking and ground locking. The board locking feature is designed to prevent accidental disconnection of the backplane. This feature works by preventing the pins from carrying electricity until the external latch is engaged. The ground locking feature is designed to ensure a secure electrical connection between the backplane and a connected component. This feature works by making sure the contact pins are connected to the ground plane.

In addition to its wide range of applications and features, the 51730-080LF backplane connector is designed to be easy to use and install. It is an ideal choice for applications that require a reliable and secure connection. Its locked/ground design and low contact resistance helps to ensure an interference-free transfer of signals and power, while its board and ground locking features provide additional security and reliability.
