HM2R20PA5108N9LF

Hard Metric Series 2 (HM2) is a family of backplane connectors designed and manufactured by Amphenol that meet the requirements of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and are used for a wide range of communication and computing applications. The HM2R20PA5108N9LF is a 2-row, 20-pin backplane connector with a 40-way receptacle. It features a high density profile to accommodate a greater number of signals in a constrained space. Its features and specifications make it a suitable choice for a variety of applications, and it is also highly capable and versatile.

The design of the HM2R20PA5108N9LF connector includes a number of features that make it a good choice for applications requiring high-speed signal transfer. This includes an integrated ground shield, an integrated strain relief collars, and a low-profile profile that ensures a stable connection between the connector and the backplane socket. An integrated latching mechanism helps to ensure a secure connection between the connector and the backplane socket, improving signal integrity and reliability.

This connector’s primary purpose is to establish robust connections between backplanes, or inner layers of printed circuit boards. As such, they are commonly used in a wide array of devices, including digital instruments, computing systems, industrial automation systems, multi-drop buses, and in high-speed networking applications. The 2-row, 20-pin configuration of these connectors makes them suitable for use in more confined spaces while still providing a wide range of signal connectivity.

The working principle of this connector is relatively simple. An array of pins is soldered into the backplane socket, which is then connected to a backplane. The pins are then connected to the corresponding pins of the connector, forming a secure connection. The strength of the connection is further enhanced through the use of an integrated latching mechanism and strain relief collars.

The HM2R20PA5108N9LF is a high quality and reliable backplane connector, and its versatile design makes it suitable for use in a wide variety of applications. Its features make it capable of handling high-speed signals, and its integrated latching system provides a secure connection while allowing for quick and easy installation. This makes it an ideal choice for those looking to ensure reliable and high-performance connections between backplanes.
