5650461-4

Backplane Connectors - DIN 41612, a cable-connecting interface for multiple computer and telecom system backplanes, have been an integral part of the transmission and storage industry for many years. The long-standing industry leader in this type of interconnect system is Molex, and its connector technology is referred to as 5650461-4. This application field and its associated working principles will be discussed in the following sections.

5650461-4 Application Field

The 5650461-4 is essentially a flexible connector suitable for use with backplane systems. It offers a more efficient means for connecting multiple systems together than using a single long cable. It is an ideal solution for stackable system architectures, where a large number of boards and components need to be connected in a tight, efficient configuration. The key advantage of this type of connector is its universal compatibility with nearly any type of backplane.

The 5650461-4 is used in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, computer storage and media technologies. It offers a reliable way to connect computers, servers, modems, storage disks and other networking equipment. The connector is also suitable for use in data centers, where multiple interconnected systems need to be efficiently connected. Furthermore, the 5650461-4 is an ideal solution for automated or semi-automated production and assembly lines, due to its convenient and robust design.

Working Principle

The 5650461-4 connector works by inserting a Molex-manufactured interconnect terminal into a mating shield assembly. This terminal is then secured to the inside of the frame\'s frames by means of a locking wall. Once secured, the 5650461-4’s terminal pins make contact with the circuit board traces and create an electrical connection between them. By using this type of connection, a larger number of integrated devices can be formed in a single stackable frame.

The 5650461-4 connection system also ensures a tight mechanical fit that is resistant to vibration and other environmental conditions. This helps to reduce the rate of corrosion and the chance of faulty or weak connections. Moreover, the design of the terminals ensures a reliable electrical connection that can pass high current rates without significant attenuation or distortion.

In order to ensure a secure connection, Molex engineers use two different contact designs. The first design is a pre-assembled insulation displacement contact (IDC), which is pre-tapped and factory-made. Alternatively, conventional pins may be employed in order to create a more resilient and reliable connection.

Conclusion

The 5650461-4 application field and working principle has been widely embraced in a variety of industrial fields. Its universal compatibility with nearly any type of backplane is a key advantage of the connector. Furthermore, its reliable electrical and mechanical connection makes the 5650461-4 well-suited for the increasingly complex and demanding demands of automated systems. This ultimate makes the 5650461-4 a key solution in a number of data center, media, and production line applications.
