Backplane Connectors - DIN 41612

DIN 41612 is one of the most common types of backplane connectors used, and the 650868-4 is a standard male, right-angle, singlerow connector most often used for backplane applications. With a wide variety of matched female connectors, mating is simple and secure. This type of connector is an ideal choice for applications where a relatively small number of signals need to be connected between two boards.

Application

The 650868-4 backplane connector is widely used in a variety of applications, such as industrial systems like telecommunication, medical, and network security. It’s highly suited for installations that rely on quick and easy mating and unmating processes. This makes it a popular choice for:

• Industrial control and automation
• Medical systems
• Telecommunications
• Network security
• Computer servers

Working Principle

The 650868-4 backplane connector works by connecting the frontal pin to its rear mate. When the connector is mated, the rear pins are connected to the frontal receptacle. This creates a secure electrical connection between two boards, allowing signals to travel through without losing strength or accuracy. This type of connector also features positive locking which prevents accidental disassembly. This can be a lifesaving feature in applications where the front and rear pins are exposed.

The 650868-4 is made with a reliable housing, and is sometimes fitted with a preassembled shielded spring- or screw mounting for improved stress relief. This ensures that the connection is not damaged or broken due to external forces. The contacts are also gold plated for improved contact resilience and electrical performance.

This type of connector is also designed with reliability and safety in mind, featuring an IP40 protection rating, and optional additional shielding. This ensures long-term reliability, even when exposed to the elements.

Conclusion

The 650868-4 backplane connector is one of the most reliable and versatile types of backplane connectors available on the market. This type of connector is highly suited for applications where a relatively small number of signals need to be connected between two boards, and offers reliable performance and protection when needed. With a wide variety of mating connectors, the 650868-4 is an ideal choice for industrial control, automation, and other electronic applications.
