MMD21-0501R1

Backplane connectors are a group of specialty connectors most commonly used in electric equipment, most notably in computers. The connectors on backplanes are dedicated to providing power or data connections within the device. The MMD21-0501R1 is one such connector, and it is used particularly for applications requiring a power and signal connection.

Application Field

The MMD21-0501R1 connector is designed for use in various applications where both power and signal transmission are required. These applications include electro-mechanical assemblies, such as factory automation systems, robots, and HVAC systems. Additionally, this type of connector is typically used in computer mainframes and supercomputers, in systems requiring high pin counts, and in analog and digital signal processing equipment.

Working Principle

The MMD21-0501R1 connector works like other types of connectors. It consists of two mating pieces; each part contains several contact pins on its surface. These pins are then inserted into the slots provided in the mating piece. The pins form an electrical contact when both pieces are correctly mated, thereby allowing for power and signal transmission between the two parts.

The connector also has features that allow it to mechanically secure the components in place. The features are built into the connector design and include grooves, pins, and springs. By using these features, the connecting parts can be securely locked in place, preventing any accidental disconnection or loosening of contacts.

Summary

The MMD21-0501R1 connector is a specialized backplane connector designed for applications that require both power and signal transmission. It consists of two mating parts with several contact pins on their surfaces, that are inserted into each other when the two pieces are mated. Acting as both an electrical and mechanical connector, it allows for power and signal transmission while also providing a secure connection between the two components, preventing accidental disconnection.
