In addition, the XC5E-5021 can also be used in automobile manufacturing, security systems, office automation, data storage, and machine vision.

Working Principle

The XC5E-5021 backplane connector uses an external backplane. This backplane consists of a D-shaped and symmetric shell arrangement, with a total of 56 pins distributed across two levels. Pins on both levels are arranged in parallel and in the same arrangement in the shell. But the lower pin row are soldered, while the upper pin row is on the shell top. The pitching of each pin is 0.5mm, and the standard space between two pins is 2.54mm.

When connecting two boards via the XC5E-5021, the board-side interface needs to align the pins of two boards with the socket on the backplane. After the alignment is completed, the backplane slides and connects the two boards. The metal clip on the backplane ensures the stability of the connection. At the same time, the plug-in leads at the upper and lower levels are also connected. The reliable connection and large number of pins make the XC5E-5021 ideal for high density applications.

Conclusion

The XC5E-5021 backplane connector is a DIN 41612 type connector that is suitable for a variety of applications. Its distinctive symmetric design, coupled with its rugged construction and reliable connection, make it a preferred option in various industries across the world. The XC5E-5021’s high density and cost-effectiveness make it a reliable choice in transmission applications.
