72387-902LF

Backplane connectors can provide support from one circuit board or card to another. The 72387-902LF is a special backplane connector belonging to this family of connectors, and is designed for very specific applications. This article discusses the application field and working principle of the 72387-902LF.

Application Field

The 72387-902LF is specifically designed for providing interface between a signal board and a connector that has a diameter of 0.081 inches. This connector is designed in such a way that it can be used in applications where vertical and horizontal board-to-board stack stacking is required. This backplane connector is ideal for use in stackable backplane systems, as it can help to provide a more efficient flow of signals between the board and the connector.

The 72387-902LF connector is designed for a host of industrial and military applications. It is widely used in aerospace, medical, commercial and military applications, providing reliable electrical connections in the most challenging environments. This backplane connector is also suitable for use in harsh environments, such as extreme temperatures and high-vibration environments.

Working Principle

The 72387-902LF utilizes a proprietary pin design and a proprietary plastic mid-plane insulator. This pin design consists of a male and a female receptacle that are connected via a male header. This allows for a reliable electrical connection between the board and the connector.

The female receptacle is constructed from a nylon-filled thermoplastic material. This ensures that, even under high-vibration conditions, the pin is securely held in place. The male header is composed of a metal alloy, which provides additional strength and rigidity to the connection. The mid-plane insulator is designed to absorb any potential shock or vibration, providing a more reliable connection.

The 72387-902LF also employs a combination of pin widths, pitch sizes, and pin counts to provide the desired electrical connection. This combination of pin widths, pitch sizes, and pin counts allows for better use of space, and ensures that the pin is securely held in place. The 72387-902LF also utilizes a spring latch mechanism to ensure that the connector remains securely connected, even in extreme vibration and shock environments.

Overall, the 72387-902LF is an ideal backplane connector for use in industrial and military applications. Its combination of pin widths, pitch sizes, and pin counts, coupled with its proprietary metal alloy and nylon-filled thermoplastic pin design ensures a reliable electrical connection in the most challenging environments.
