58363-121LF Datasheet/PDFBackplane connectors, such as the 58363-121LF, are used in a variety of applications. These connectors are specialized equipment used to electrically link printed circuit boards and other internal components in backplanes. Backplane connectors are essentially a board-to-board type interconnect that ensures reliable transmission of signals and power between two boards, while providing physical stability.
Application Field of 58363-121LF
The 58363-121LF is a small but powerful backplane connector which is suitable for use in a variety of application scenarios. It is equipped with 5 header rows and the headers that come with the connector possess low profile (only 1.27mm high) and high density (60 pin count in 5x12 spacing). This connector is suited for high-speed applications due to its robust performance and it has proven to be reliable in applications where space is at a premium.
The 58363-121LF also features a robust contact construction that makes it suited for high vibration and shock applications. In addition, the connectors have high-retention forces and ensure stable signals and power even at extreme temperatures and in highly demanding environments, making them one of the best choices for signal integrity applications as well.
Working Principle of 58363-121LF
The 58363-121LF Backplane connectors consists of a PCB (printed circuit board) with a male header that connects to a female header. The male header is treated with tin plating and a low silver content for enhanced durability and a high moisture resistance. The header will then be connected to the board with a special soldering technique.
The header uses a two-piece system which contains a male connector with a pin and a female connector with a socket. The pins of the male connector are inserted into the sockets of the female connector and secured with a mechanical locking system. This locking mechanism ensures electrical continuity while providing physical stability and reliability.
The 58363-121LF Backplane connectors also use several features to ensure optimal performance. They include high-current terminals, tight tolerances, low insertion force, high durability, and high tolerance to temperature, humidity and shock. Such features make the 58363-121LF ideal for various other applications, such as communication and networking systems, medical apparatus, automotive systems, industrial automation, data communication systems, embedded electronics, and more.
Conclusion
The 58363-121LF Backplane connector is a specialized and versatile connector with low profile and high density. It is suitable for a wide range of high-speed applications, as well as temperature and surface mount applications. It is also highly reliable and efficient, due to its robust contact construction and its two-piece system. The solid locking mechanism ensures secure and stable connections, making the 58363-121LF Backplane connector one of the best choices for signal integrity applications as well.
