Contacts

The 608489050002049 application field and working principle pertains to backplane connectors, as well as the device’s primary contacts.

A backplane connector, as the name implies, is a type of electrical connector which is typically used for high-speed connectivity between various types of electronic devices. Such connectors are exclusively found in power-distribution and signal-transmission scenarios, while applications range from computer chassis to aerospace industries. Regulatory bodies such as SAE & CECC also give certain specifications to ensure device performance and safety.

The 608489050002049 field & principle applies to a range of contact designs. Generally speaking, the connectors\' positive contacts are typically made of a gold-plated alloy, while their negative counterparts comprise of either a dovetailed RF-finger, or a lead-plated alloy. In addition, the connectors have to be processed in a manner which grinds them down to an overall length that is in keeping with the design parameters.

The working principle of the contacts is usually centered around connections which are ‘true-centering’. This involves the outermost faces of the contacts remaining spherical, thus resulting in a contact surface which adopts a concave shape. By applying a certain level of pressure on this inner surface, electrical connections can be slightly squeezed, in turn reducing contact resistance. To further improve on the connections form and fit, the internal contact edges may be slightly chamfered for a better gripping motion.

On a global basis, 608489050002049-type contacts are yet to achieve a certain degree of ubiquity in the electronics industry. Even so, their working principles are well-known and can be applied across a range of scenarios, such as for power distribution and RF transmission. The ability to process the connectors to the required length is a major advantage of the field/principle discussed in comparison with other contact designs.
