5223961-1 Datasheet/PDFBackplane Connectors - Specialized
The 5223961-1 backplane connector from TE Connectivity, is a connector specialized for supporting high-density and fault tolerant applications. It utilizes a 48-pin configuration with multi-beam contact technology that allows for more reliable performance and durability.
Design
The 5223961-1 connector is designed with 48 pins that are evenly spaced out across the connector. Each pin is arranged in a straight line, and a low profile design helps improve airflow and heat dissipation. The pins are held together by the connector’s metal housing which is painted black to match the PCB. The pins have an electroless nickel finish, and the gold plating ensures excellent conductivity. The pins are also protected from shock and vibration.
The backplane connector also has an adjustable height design which allows it to be installed in racks or on horizontal mounting surfaces. The connector features a double looped latch which provides secure locking and added stability during operation. Additionally, a steel locating pin below the connector helps ensure proper alignment during installation.
Working Principle
The 5223961-1 backplane connector utilizes multi-beam contact technology which enables a more reliable connection than standard connectors. This technology divides the pins into four sets of twelve, and the two groups are made of three beamed contacting sets. This contact technology allows for better signal integrity and increased stability. It also allows for the contact area to be distributed evenly across the pins, improving reliability.
The backplane connector also has an increased durability rating compared to other models. The 5223961-1 backplane connector is rated for up to 30,000 mate and unmate cycles. This rating ensures that the connector is able to function reliably even after long periods of usage. Additionally, the connector also meets the UL94V-0 flammability requirements.
Application Field
The 5223961-1 backplane connector is most commonly used in two types of applications: high-density and fault tolerant ones. In high-density applications, the connector’s 48-pin design allows data and power to be supplied to multiple boards or components. In fault tolerant applications, the connector’s increased durability rating ensures that it is able to handle extended periods of uptime.
The 5223961-1 backplane connector is also commonly used in the telecommunications, industrial, and computer industries. Its adjustable height design makes it well suited for computer cases and rack systems. Furthermore, its increased durability, and reliability makes it ideal for use in fault tolerant applications.
Conclusion
The 5223961-1 backplane connector from TE Connectivity is a specialized connector designed to support high-density and fault tolerant applications. Its multi-beam contact technology enables a more reliable connection, and an adjustable height design makes it suitable for both horizontal and vertical mounting surfaces. Its increased reliability and durability also make it ideal for use in fault tolerant applications in the telecommunications, industrial, and computer industries.
