Backplane Connectors - Housings

The 51939-141 Backplane Connector is one of the most popular housings for backplane technology used in the electronics industry today. This product is available in two different body designs, and has been engineered to provide robust performance and reliability in a variety of applications.

The Backplane Connector is designed to connect an important component in a given electronic system, such as a backplane, which is usually a large board with a large number of electrical contacts. These contacts connect various electronic components such as microprocessors, memory chips, power supplies, and other components. The 51939-141 provides a secure and reliable connections between these components which is important for reliable system performance.

The 51939-141 is designed with two different body designs the straight and right angle designs- two contact receptacles, and two or four die cast mounting bosses. The mounting bosses provide a secure mount point for the connector while the angle design offers a flush mount connection. The contact receptacles accept 0.635mm diameter contacts in Gold plated alloy finish and have a contact current rating of 11 amps.

The connector body also contains an integrated latch system. This system can be actuated with the use of either a threaded latch or an electromagnetic key. This system ensures secure and reliable mating, ensuring that the connector does not come apart or become disconnected while in use.

The 51939-141 is designed to be lightweight, rugged and durable. It is built with a single piece metal housing, which provides superior shielding and corrosion resistance. The connector also features a protective coating on its exposed contacts that helps to ensure reliable operation in harsh environments.

The 51939-141 is suitable for use in a variety of application fields, including computer, automotive, industrial, consumer electronic, medical, instrumentation, and communication industries. The housing serves a wide range of purposes including providing simple backplane connections, providing an economical means of routing signals, and supporting signal integrity and data transfer on the backplane.

In terms of working principles, the 51939-141 Backplane Connector operates using the principles of metal-to-metal contact. This contact is made between two metal parts, with the contact points being interspersed by a semiconductor plastic material. This type of connection reduces electrical losses and can simplify the implementation of fiber optic connections. The connector also features a unique and patented floating contact system, which ensures contact repeatability and low resistance connection.

In conclusion, the 51939-141 Backplane Connector is one of the most popular housings for backplane technology used in the electronics industry today, and is suitable for use in a variety of applications. This product is designed to be lightweight, rugged and durable, and features an integrated latch system and a patented floating contact system which provides reliable and secure connections.
