Backplane Connectors - Specialized

MMD21-0501K1 is a specialized backplane board-to-board connector, usually used for very specific application fields. At first glance, it may look very like a standard board-to-board connector, but the vital differences are in the internal mechanisms. With its low spring-force and high contact force, MMD21-0501K1 is most suitable for high-speed, high-bandwidth applications such as data center backplane.

Application Field

The MMD21-0501K1 is a specialized backplane connector primarily for board-to-board applications, so the applications it can serve are wide and varied, as it can connect boards of different heights and board connection pitches. In addition to data centers and server applications, it can also be used in communications networks, computer networks, and other high-performance backplane equipment. The connector is also used for internal mechanics for very high-speed and low-cost applications.

Working Principle

The MMD21-0501K1 features low spring force and high contact force, which allows for reliable and fast connections between boards. To achieve this, the connector features a unique and innovative design that provides high contact forces. It uses what’s known as a ‘floating latch’ design, wherein the latch of the connector is suspended on a spring, allowing it to move freely in order to provide increased contact forces when plugged-in. This feature also ensures improved durability and better protection against dust and other contaminants.

Another innovation with the MMD21-0501K1 is the mini keel design for improved board-to-board connection. The board-to-board mini keel feature allows for superior shock and vibration resistance and enhanced electrical isolation. It also helps to prevent any cross-talk or interference between buses.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the MMD21-0501K1 is an innovative specialized backplane board-to-board connector with low spring force and high contact force. It provides a reliable and fast connection for a wide range of applications and can be used in applications such as high-speed data centers and servers, communications networks and computer networks. Its unique mini keel feature provides excellent shock and vibration resistance and enhanced electrical isolation.
