Backplane Connectors - Housings

The 646482-5 backplane connector is a type of housing specifically for connecting boards to each other in a backplane architecture. It uses a series of small threaded posts to connect to a backplane with a tool-less process, meaning it\'s easier to manage multiple boards without the need to use a screwdriver every time. This simplifies the board assembly and maintenance process, making this connector ideal for applications requiring tight integration of multiple elements.

The 646482-5 backplane connector is designed with a multi-row configuration with a maximum of 6 rows. The rows are separated into two groups, with up to 3 columns per group. It features a snap-connect design, meaning it snaps into place with a simple clasp movement. This offers a secure connection and helps maintain contact during troubled times while connected to the backplane. The connector also includes an integral locknut to ensure the connection is secure and easy to maintain.

The working principle of the 646482-5 backplane connector is based on using an internal contact to provide contact between the two boards when connected. This contact is made using two copper pins, one in each board, which are then connected together by a metal spring. When the two boards are connected, the metal spring spreads out to create contact between the pins, thus making the connection. This spring design eliminates the need for a screwdriver, making the connection much simpler and easier to maintain.

The 646482-5 backplane connector is a great solution for applications that require tight integration of multiple elements. The multi-row configuration and easy tool-less installation make it the ideal connector for busy applications that need to connect multiple boards but don’t always have the time or space to do it. Additionally, the snap-connect design and integral locknut ensure a secure and reliable connection for a trouble-free experience.

In conclusion, the 646482-5 backplane connector is an excellent choice for applications needing tight integration of multiple elements. It features a multi-row configuration with up to 6 rows, a snap-connect design, and an integral locknut for a secure connection. Additionally, the contact mechanism is based on a spring which eliminates the need for a screwdriver, simplifying the installation and maintenance process. All of these features make the 646482-5 backplane connector a great option for backplane applications that require tight integration.
