Backplane Connectors – Specialized

Backplane connectors are specialized electrical connectors that connect multiple circuit boards together in a stacked, modular configuration. One example of a specialized backplane connector is the 5223650-1. Designed to match standard 19-slot IEC 1076 backplanes, the 5223650-1 connects 30 signal lines between PCBs. This makes it ideal for applications in which you need a dense, rugged and reliable electrical interconnect.

Application Field

The 5223650-1 backplane connector has a wide range of applications, including communications systems, medical diagnostic devices, automotive electronics, robotics and factory automation. It is also suitable for use in high temperature environments, as it is rated for temperatures up to 225 degrees Celsius. Its hardened design also makes it ideal for use in harsh, vibration-prone environments.

Working Principle

The 5223650-1 uses spring-loaded pins and sockets to make contact between circuit boards. The pins make contact with the socket on the opposite slot, and the socket contacts the pins on the adjacent slot. This creates a secure connection that is able to withstand a high amount of electrical current and vibration. In addition, the connector can be inserted and removed repeatedly without degrading the connection.

The 5223650-1 also includes a secondary locking mechanism that ensures a positive connection in high-shock environments. The connector is designed with a recessed groove that snaps onto a latch on the other side. This prevents the connector from disconnecting even if the slots come loose from vibration or jostling.

Conclusion

The 5223650-1 backplane connector is an ideal solution for applications requiring a highly reliable connection between circuit boards. Its specialized design provides a secure, vibration-proof connection that is able to withstand a wide range of temperatures. In addition, its recessed groove helps to create a secondary locking mechanism to ensure a secure connection that won’t come loose even under the harshest conditions.
