51915-049LF

Backplane connectors are a type of electrical connector that are used primarily in backplane assemblies and other high-speed applications. Among the wide variety of different backplane connector types, the 51915-049LF, a low-profile version of the popular Harting Han® Series, is perhaps one of the most specialized due to its unique features and performance capabilities.

The 51915-049LF is a low profile, half-pitch board-to-board connector rated for high current and used in applications for backplanes and motherboards. It is designed for high-speed transmission rates of up to 16 Gbps on up to 8 differential pairs. It features surface mount technology and an assembly process that is highly efficient and cost effective thanks to its unique spring-contact retention feature. The connector is shielded for EMC protection and has built-in strain relief to ensure a reliable electrical connection.

The 51915-049LF is ideal for connecting computer motherboards, high-end gaming systems, as well as server systems and embedded systems that use high-speed data transmission technologies such as SDI, 3G or 4K. It is also well-suited for applications that require either isolated or power duty applications. Its low profile design combined with its high transmission rates make it an ideal choice for applications which require precise edge-maintenance and high-end performance.

The 51915-049LF is also characterized by its unique working principle. Its spring-contact retention feature ensures a reliable mechanical and electrical connection between the mating boards which can withstand stresses under both normal and thermal conditions. The housing of the connector is designed to limit contact retention to the board surface and to ensure proper contact between the two mating connectors. Additionally, the connector incorporates a wide range of power contact technologies such as an integrated fast locking system and an adjustable pitch spacing for boards with different board thickness.

Overall, the 51915-049LF is an ideal backplane connector for various applications due to its low profile design and overall performance capabilities. Its spring-contact retention feature, integrated with shielding, provides reliable contact between the connector and board, making it a great choice for applicants looking for a reliable, high-speed connection in their backplane assemblies and other high-speed applications.
