536540-1

Backplane connectors are a type of electromechanical interconnect used to connect electronic equipment within a system. 536540-1 is one of the more specialized forms of such connectors, possessing the abilities to handle both power and signal contacts. In this document, we discuss 536540-1\'s application field and its working principle.

Application field

536540-1 backplane connectors are mainly suitable for modules and system designs for industrial machinery, data centers, storage devices, aerospace and military applications. Of course, 536540-1 can also be used in many other application scenarios as custom requirements.

The in-line design and press-fit pin technology used in 536540-1 connectors ensures that the machined pins have high resistance to shock and vibration. The structure also exhibits advantages such as hot swappability, reverse polarity protection, electromagnetic interference shielding, durable environmental sealing, and reliable power distribution. This makes 536540-1 well suited for sensitive or life-critical applications.

Working principle

The working principle of a 536540-1 removable connector is quite simple. Each shell contains two sets of spring-loaded contacts, one for power and one for signal. The contacts have three-dimensional shapes and contact surfaces that can suspend, conduct and resist vibration. The contacts are designed to adjust flexibly to various card heights for better contact.

When the connector is mated, a mechanical pawl is pushed to the front, creating a mechanical bond between the two parts. The contacts then make electrical contact to the circuit board or socket. The cable shield or chassis ground is also securely connected to the shield on the connector.

To ensure the quality of the connection, the 536540-1 backplane connectors offer the added protection of a housing with integrated strain reliefs and a preloaded adjustable strain relief. This design minimizes the number of wrenches needed to make the connections and also helps to prevent sudden shock loading.

Conclusion

The 536540-1 connector is a specialized backplane connector choice for power and signal. It is most suitable for sophisticated machine applications that require reliable connections. The express-fit pin technology enables good vibration and shock resistance, and allows it to adapt to different heights for better contact. These features make it an excellent choice for sophisticated applications where reliability and performance are most important.
