Backplane Connectors - Specialized

The 74977-104011LF is a specialized backplane connector used in computer systems and similar applications. It was designed to provide high performance signal connections in compact packages with low insertion force, making it one of the most common connectors used in both commercial and consumer electronic applications.

The 74977-104011LF uses a unique design with two circular plastic shells surrounding a set of contact pins. It features a set of 18 pins, divided into two groups of nine. One of the circular shells is constructed to be larger than the other, providing a secure contact between the two shells. The contact between the two shells is achieved by the use of either a press-fit contact or an adhesive contact. The contact between the pins and the shells is made via the use of an extra spacer that is designed to increase the insert-force and provide a more secure connection.

The 74977-104011LF backplane connector is designed for high performance signal transfer. The pins are machined for a precise fit and are also treated with surface plating to prevent corrosion. The contact between the shells more securely holds the pins in place, reducing the risk of contact wear and misalignment due to vibration and temperature changes. This ensures a steady, reliable connection point for signal transmission between two adjacent boards.

The 74977-104011LF backplane connector is designed for use in the most demanding applications, such as computers, telecommunications, and high-speed networking. It is rated for up to 1GHz of signal speed, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring a reliable, low-loss connection. The connector is also capable of handling up to 15,000 insertions and is designed to last 25,000 cycles.

The 74977-104011LF can be used with different types of mating sleeves, such as pre-assembled modular units or custom designed solutions. These sleeves fit the two shells and secure the contact pins in place, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. It is also possible to utilize strain relief extensions, which help reduce the strain of frequent manipulation on the pins. Additionally, the two shells are designed for strain relief and are able to fit tightly to the other components of the computer system.

The 74977-104011LF is an ideal choice for any application requiring a reliable connection. Its design ensures reliable performance, while its compact size and low insertion force make it perfect for tight spaces that require a strong connection. It is also designed to provide long-term, reliable signal transmission and is compatible with many types of mating sleeves and extenders, making it an ideal choice for any application.
