536461-5

Backplane connectors are a type of electrical connector used to connect electrical circuitry together on a backplane. They are commonly used in networking, communication, and server applications. The DIN 41612 series of backplane connectors are a widely used standard across the European market. One of the most commonly used DIN 41612 connectors is the 536461-5.

The 536461-5 is a 9-way connector with provisions for both audible and audible warning signals. It consists of nine signal contacts, three power contacts, three ground contacts, a shielding contact, one center pin for a warning signal, and two side slots for audible warning signals. It is designed to fit into PCBs with a 6.35mm mounting hole diameter and features a self-locking mechanism for secure assembly and dismantling. It has a maximum current carrying capacity of 7 Amps per contact and a rated temperature range of -25°C to 85°C.

The 536461-5 is suitable for use in many applications, including SCSI2, Ethernet, Industrial Automation, Military and Aerospace systems, Medical equipment, and a variety of other applications. The 536461-5 has become the de facto standard for the ever-evolving and expanding needs of server systems. It is designed to work in a parallel data transmission system, with the highest integrity guaranteeing maximum reliability.

The working principle of the 536461-5 is simple and straightforward. The contacts are arranged in two rows of nine contacts each, in an alternating pattern. This allows signals to be transmitted from the board to the connector, and then to the module. The contact arrangement makes it possible to achieve a higher speed transmission than possible with other types of connectors. The electrical signal is transmitted through the center pin of the connector to the board, while the side slots provide audible warnings for maintenance functions and system errors. The shielded contact reduces noise interference in applications where interference may be present.

The 536461-5 is an excellent choice for connecting circuit boards and modules in server applications. Its reliable and robust design contributes to a wide range of industries and applications. With its flexible mounting system, robust self-locking design, and audible warning signals, it is the ideal solution for a variety of uses in the data communication industry.
