88916-204LF

Backplane Connectors - Housings typically consist of components that provide connections between the backplane of a computer system and its I/O modules, usually in a variety of configurations. One of the most popular and versatile backplane connectors is the 88916-204LF, or Low-Force, high-performance, totally surface-mountable connector. This connector provides a comprehensive solution that meets the requirements for most backplane applications.

The 88916-204LF backplane connector is a product of AMP/Tyco Electronics, a leading manufacturer of backplane-related components. This connector comes in a three-piece configuration, with a two-piece molded base and a one-piece mating pin. The base is constructed of insulated polypropylene, and is designed with two mounting tabs to secure it to the pc board. The contacts are supported by two stainless steel blades which are hot-plated for corrosion resistance and electrical insulation.

The 88916-204LF is designed for use in high-performance interconnect systems. It is characterized by its low mounting force, which enables it to be mounted without the need for additional tools or hardware. The low mounting force also results in an exceptionally high contact retention force, allowing the connector to maintain its integrity in a wide range of environmental conditions. Furthermore, the connector is designed to meet or exceed protocols such as MIL-STD-1344, RoHS, and UL.

The 88916-204LF connector is designed for ease of use and low costs, allowing for a time saving and cost-effective installation. It features ganged connections, which allow for multiple contacts to be connected to the same pin. It also has blind mating capabilities, allowing it to be connected with little effort. This connector is capable of providing a very low insertion force of 0.2 N, reducing the risk of damage due to excessive insertion force.

The 88916-204LF connector is designed for a wide range of applications, including server and storage systems, high-speed communications, automotive applications, and many other applications requiring high-speed connections. It is well suited for applications in which contact density and contact performance are critical. The connector is also designed to provide a high level of reliability and repeatability, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

The 88916-204LF connector is a reliable, cost-effective, and versatile product for use in a variety of backplane applications. This highly-engineered connector is designed to provide reliable connections in a variety of extreme conditions. Therefore, it is ideal for applications that require a reliable and high-performance interconnect system.
