HM2P07PDA3H1N9

Backplane Connectors - Hard Metric, Standard

HM2P07PDA3H1N9 is one of the most popular backplane connectors of the Hard Metric style used in many applications. It has a well-built construction that ensures reliable and secure connection in both electrical and mechanical systems and provides excellent high-speed performance, making it very suitable for demanding applications. Moreover, its distinctive slotted design ensures simplicity of installation and repairs.

Application Field

The HM2P07PDA3H1N9 is typically driven as a high-speed interconnection solution due to its efficient ability to transfer data at high rates. It is primarily used in applications such as servers, switches, storage, network, telecommunications and so on. Further, its slotted construction makes it suitable for use in limited space applications, as the insulation between the contacts is more compact.

Its wide usage is reached because of the compliant connectors with different genders, allowing even connections in boxes with several ports. Its rugged and reliable construction is also able to endure high-level vibrations, making it suitable for outdoor applications where vibration is a major challenge.

Working Principle

The working principle behind HM2P07PDA3H1N9 is relatively simple, and it can easily be explained. It is based on the standard design of the Hard Metric connectors, with a two-level pin contact assembly inserted into a socket assembly that locks onto a backplane. The two levels of contact pins ensure good contact performance and rugged repeated mating cycles.

When all contacts are in place, the Hard Metric contacts form a three-point circuit on the backplanes. This ensures reliable electrical connectivity and prevents damage due to misalignment. Once the connection is established, the different pins on the backplane sockets send electrical signals to the respective locations on the Hard Metric connectors. In turn, the Hard Metric contacts return the signals to the appropriate locations on the backplane.

In environments that use extreme temperatures, the design of the HM2P07PDA3H1N9 helps by reducing stress in the contact structures and reducing the chances of internal connector arcing by avoiding contact arching. This makes the connector an excellent choice for extreme temperature applications.

Conclusion

The HM2P07PDA3H1N9 from the Hard Metric style is one of the best backplane connectors available on the market. It offers excellent high-speed performance, rugged reliability, and enhanced mating cycles. It is suitable for a wide range of applications from servers to storage and from telecommunications to network systems. Its simple yet effective design ensures reliable electrical and mechanical connectivity.
