6648400-1

Backplane Connectors - Contacts

The 6648400-1 is a contact from an electrical connector. This type of contact is usually used in systems like computers, where backplane connectors are located on building blocks, or "oblates" that may be spaced out. This type of contact is used most often in high-speed applications where numerous connections must be made to ensure a high-performance data transfer.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 6648400-1 contact is typically used in backplane connectors in applications such as data transmission, switching, and multiple-signal switching. The contact is designed with a gold plated terminal which is pressure-fitted for robust and reliable mating. The contact itself must be soldered to the backplane frame to ensure a solid connection and a long life expectancy.

The insulation of the contact is made from a combination of thermoplastic and elastomer materials. This combination ensures optimal insulation and protection from voltage transients while maintaining a low profile to ensure the contact fits into tight applications. The contact also has a low contact resistance and a high level of vibration and shock resistance.

The 6648400-1 contact works by creating an electrical connection between two points in the backplane connector. It starts by creating an electrical contact between two surfaces by making them touch. The contact\'s insulation ensures that the voltage between the two surfaces does not overpower the circuit, which would otherwise damage the contact and any other components in the circuit. The contact then carries electrical current from one point to the other, thereby providing power to power up the devices in the backplane connector.

The contact also helps provide protection against EMI/EMF (electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic field) and provides a high amount of noise reduction. With the help of its insulation, the contact minimizes the amount of interference that can enter the circuit, allowing for faster and more reliable data transmission.

In addition to these features, the 6648400-1 contact is well suited for a wide variety of applications, from high-speed data transmission to multiple-signal switching. The contact is designed to ensure maximum contact power and consistent performance, making it an ideal choice for backplane connectors that require a reliable and high-performance connection.
