Backplane Connectors - Hard Metric, Standard - 5352346-1 Application Field and Working Principle

Backplane connectors allow electrical signals to be transmitted between two layers of a printed circuit board. Backplane connectors come in different shapes, sizes and configurations to fit the needs of a wide range of applications. The 5352346-1 Hard Metric, Standard, for instance, is a high density interconnect (HDI) connector. It offers a broad range of design flexibility, is compliant with industry standards, is high-reliability and may be suited for an array of applications.

The 5352346-1 Hard Metric, Standard, may be applied in a variety of scenarios. It can be used for board-to-board, board-to-wire, or board-to-wire connections. It may be particularly helpful when connecting multiple substrates, due to its high reliability and space-saving design. Due to its high speed and low power characteristics, it is suited for communications and power control applications. Additionally, it may be used in applications in which signal fidelity and speed are required, such as digital signal processing, Gigabit Serial Link systems, Ethernet, wireless, and high-speed data acquisition.

The 5352346-1 Hard Metric, Standard, provides several advantages over other traditional backplane connectors. It allows for higher data rates, superior signal integrity and cost savings due to its higher density. Its small size and central location in the board minimize cost and board space. The connector has a positive latching system that ensures secure mating, aided with board locks. Additionally, switching between microstrip and stripline is possible, providing greater design flexibility. The secure and positive contact retention is provided through dual pins.

The 5352346-1 Hard Metric, Standard, works on the principle of electrical contact. The device typically has several “pins” which make contact with the other side of the board. The contact between the two is durable and secure, providing a conductive pathway between the two layers of the boards. It typically includes locking features to ensure the device stays in place and power and signal is transmitted properly. The contact may be maintained at a steady temperature, preventing shorts and other electrical issues that can occur. The final piece, a protective cover, slides over the connector to protect it and to reduce interference.

The 5352346-1 Hard Metric, Standard, is a highly reliable and efficient backplane connector. It offers a broad range of design flexibility and is cost-effective. Its superior signal integrity, speed, and small size make it suitable for several applications. It has secure locking capabilities and a protective cover, making it highly reliable and enabling safe transmission of power and signals. Although more expensive than other connectors, its many advantages make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
