Application Field

The 51915-176LF is an ideal choice for a variety of applications. Its small size makes it ideal for use in compact devices such as cell phones, PDAs and handheld PCs. Its power contacts allow it to be used in higher power applications, such as networking equipment and servers, where large numbers of I/O signals need to be transmitted. Finally, its vibration and shock resistance make it a good choice for use in automotive applications and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Working Principle

The 51915-176LF is designed to ensure a secure connection between two devices. The signal contact pins, when mated in the receptacle, create mechanical and electrical connections. The mechanical connection is provided by a spring-loaded, triple-bitted latch system that holds the contacts securely in place. The electrical connection is provided by cold rolled steel contact plates that have been plated with power-plated gold. These contacts are designed to reduce contact resistance and ensure an extremely reliable connection in high-density applications.

The power contacts on the 51915-176LF are designed to provide additional power and ground connections for applications where the signal contacts are not sufficient. The power contacts are plated with gold and feature an insulation displacement (IDC) termination which allows for easy, tool-less installation. The grounding contact is a standard size and is designed to provide a secure ground connection between the two devices.

Conclusion

The 51915-176LF is a specialized, high-performance backplane connector designed to provide reliable connections for a variety of applications. It comes with two high-performance, power-plated signal contacts, two power contacts and a standard grounding contact. Its small form factor and power contacts make it suitable for use in a variety of compact and high power applications, while its vibration and shock resistance make it suitable for use in automotive applications and unmanned aerial vehicles. The 51915-176LF is an ideal choice for engineers looking for a reliable backplane connector for their projects.
