DIN-016CPA-RR1L-SH

The DIN 41612 standard is employed in the development of backplane connectors — connectors with multiple parallel contact rows — that are typically used in industrial automation, computers, test instruments, and telecommunications systems. The DIN-016CPA-RR1L-SH is an example of this, specifically a 16 pole vertically-mounted connector manufactured according to the IEC 603-2 and DIN 41754 standards. It is intended for use with standard 19" rack-mount systems and is based on the classic DIN 41612 specification.

Application Field

DIN-016CPA-RR1L-SH connectors are designed to mount on 19" racks, and as such are ideal for various applications in industrial automation, computers, test instruments, and telecommunications systems, including back panel wiring, connections between computers and peripherals, and communication between ports on a motherboard. The connectors are also frequently used in medical and automotive applications as well as in other fields that require multiple contacts in a compact package.

Working Principle

The sophisticated design of DIN 41612’s pressed-in contacts makes it capable of transferring signals with relatively low crosstalk levels and high contact reliability. The integration of clip-locking mechanisms in the connector also helps ensure that connections are stable in horizontal and vertical orientations.

The DIN-016CPA-RR1L-SH is composed of two pieces: The base part, which is mated with the system, and the connector part that functions as the terminal. The base part features sixteen contact rows, each of which contain two contacts. The terminals feature label plates for identification purposes and a friction-lock system that ensures secure and accurate mating. Connectors are available with different numbers of positions, from 9 to 200.

Conclusion

The DIN-016CPA-RR1L-SH backplane connector is a reliable and durable interface solution, with proven applications in industrial automation, computers, test instruments, and telecommunications systems. It can transfer digital signals with low crosstalk and boasts a rigid construction with clip-locking mechanisms to ensure a stable connection.
