5352171-1

Backplane connectors are an essential part of any electronic system as they enable communication between the board and other components in the system. One of the most popular types of backplane connectors is the Hard Metric Standard (HMS) 5352171-1. This connector is designed to have a superior connection and offers high performance in difficult environment.

The connector features a male-to-male connection including two 40-way hard metric mating connectivity. The 40-way Hard Metric Standard, or 5352171-1, includes two types of board-to-board connections. The first type is a projection-lock mating while the second type is a pneumatic plug-in system.

The 5352171-1 backplane connector is widely used in applications such as industrial Ethernet, telecom-communication, automotive, power electronics, data storage, embedded systems, and medical devices. This connector is designed to be used when the system needs to be highly reliable and when ruggedness is necessary, as it offers a secure connection and is resistant to shock, vibration, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). It has an enhanced temperature range of up to 125°C and a current carrying capacity of up to 12A.

The 5352171-1 connectors are also capable of providing high speed and power in high performance applications. They are designed to support CAT5e, CAT6, CAT7, CAT8, and other ethernet standards. The connectors also offer EMI shielding which helps reduce interference and ensures reliable signal transmission.

The connector’s working principle is based on the use of two contact pins which are inserted into the socket holes. These contact pins generate a positive biasing force on the contact when inserted. The contact pins are also capable of dampening vibration and external shock events. The contacts feature partially disc-shaped contact faces which help ensure greater stability of the connection.

The 5352171-1 connector also features an enhanced latch design which is designed to provide secure locking and ensure reliable disconnection. The contact design ensures a reliable connection even after the connector has been disconnected and reassembled several times. It also offers a blind-mating feature which allows users to connect two components without the need to line up the pins.

The 5352171-1 connector is a highly reliable and robust interconnect solution which is capable of providing dependable connection in tough operating environments. It offers superior levels of shock and vibration resistance coupled with a temperature range of up to 125°C and current carrying capacity of up to 12A. The connector also offers EMI shielding, secure locking, and blind-mating features which make it a great choice for applications which require high speed, reliable, and robust connectivity.
