51940-166LF

Backplane Connectors - Specialized

The 51940-166LF is a comprehensive special-purpose backplane connector specifically designed with durability and robustness in mind. This connector is a multi-pin, single-row device that can accommodate up to sixteen different signal paths.

Application Field

This backplane connector is ideally suited for use in challenging environments with high levels of electrical noise and/or shock and vibration. The 51940-166LF is particularly suitable for telecom equipment, factory automation, motion control and other industrial applications. It has proven highly capable in maintaining signal integrity in even the harshest conditions.

Working Principle

The 51940-166LF works by means of providing mechanical and electrical connections between multiple boards. It is designed to maintain signal integrity in spite of the vibration and shock that may bepresent in the application environment. This is done by using a combination of a thermoplastic housing, a zero insertion force connector, electromagnetic equivalent shielding, and a high-pressure interelectrical contact. The connector also utilizes a floating contact system, which provides stable contact between each pin and its counter-part, regardless of the vibration or shock.

Advantages

The 51940-166LF backplane connector offers noteworthy advantages when compared against otherelectronic interfaces. It offers superior EMI/RFI shielding, excellent noise immunity, shock andvibration resistance along with high current carrying capability. In addition, the connector supportshigh-level reliable communication and is very cost-effective.

Conclusion

The 51940-166LF is designed specifically to counter the effects of interference and mechanical forces in a typical industrial environment. Boasting a long list of operational advantages and immense tolerance to electro-mechanical resistance, the 51940-166LF is a very reliable and cost-effective solution for an extensive range of applications.
