51793-002

Backplane Connectors - Specialized are widely used in electronics, especially within mass-produced and enterprise Consumer Electronics. Nowadays, one of the most popular backplane connectors in the industry is the 51793-002 (FTCP) series family of connectors. This article will discuss the Application Field and Working Principle of this particular family of connectors.

Application Field

The 51793-002 backplane connectors are used for interface applications requiring high-speed performance. It has one of the widest application fields, being suitable for various applications like industrial control, computer peripherals, consumer electronics, data communication, telecommunications equipment, medical devices, car electronics, and military equipment.

It is especially noted for its high robustness, being resistant to shock and vibration, and providing outstanding EMI/RFI performance, making it great for applications where shielded cable connections and STP cables are used. Due to its unique design, it allows for a module-to-module connection, making it perfect for on-card wiring applications.

Working Principle

The 51793-002 backplane connector family meets the requirements of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard. The connectors feature a two-part construction with two male and female plug pieces. The male plug snaps into a mating female socket and make a secure electrical connection.

The basic connection is created by two contact pins which are part of the body of the male plug and mate with two corresponding contact areas on the female socket. They are designed in such a way to prevent any unwanted movement or misalignment in the connection. The male plug body also serves as an anchor to hold the parts together and assure reliable and secure electrical connections.

In addition, there are also two ground connection points between the two parts that provide additional protection and stability against the interference and EMI/RFI. This helps ensure stable and reliable data-transmission and optimal electrical connection performance.

In summary, the 51793-002 backplane connectors are characterized by their robust design and excellent electrical and mechanical performance. Due to its wide application fields and features, it is an ideal solution for various industrial and consumer electronics applications.
