Backplane Connectors - Specialized

Backplane connectors are specialized interconnects specifically designed for backplane assemblies. There are a wide variety of backplane connectors used in the electronics industry, depending on the application. One particular connector type, the 89094-112, is designed for use in advanced system backplanes.

The 89094-112 connector was developed to meet the requirements of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) for a specialized backplane connection system. The connector is designed to accept and transmit high-speed signal data, as well as carry power and low-speed logic signals on a single backplane platform. It is characterized by a wide range of signal routing and distributed power options, making it suitable for high-end communications applications.

The 89094-112 connector is constructed with an outward-facing tab containing rows of spring-loaded contacts that accept the mating interface. This interface is normally supplied with the mating cable and must match up with the connector pins on the backplane. The pins are used to transfer power and signal data to and from the connector. Additionally, the pins feature EMI protection, which helps to prevent electromagnetic interference from affecting the signal data traveling through the backplane.

The 89094-112 connector’s signal routing capabilities are facilitated in part by its two-tier connection layout. The connectors feature four tiers of connectors: two on the backplane side and two on the mating cable side. The first tier of connectors provides the power and signal data lines, while the second tier connects the power and signal data lines to the mating cable. This two-tier configuration makes it easy to manage and route large numbers of signal data lines on a single backplane platform.

The 89094-112 connector’s distributed power option is another major advantage. This system allows the backplane to be powered from multiple sources, which eliminates the need to draw large amounts of power from a single supply. Moreover, the distributed power system ensures that the backplane can remain operational even when one of the power sources fails. This is important for high-end applications that require uninterrupted service.

The 89094-112 connector is a reliable, high-performance backplane connection system that is well-suited for advanced telecommunications applications. Its efficient signal routing, distributed power options, and robust EMI protection make it an ideal choice for high-end systems.
