Backplane connectors are an essential component in electronic devices that require high-speed data transfer and power distribution. DIN 41612 is a standard for backplane connectors that was developed by the German Institute for Standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung) in 1974. The DIN 41612 standard defines the mechanical, electrical, and environmental characteristics of backplane connectors. This article will discuss the different product types that are included in backplane connectors - DIN 41612.
1. Type A Connectors
Type A connectors are the most common type of backplane connectors. They are designed for use in applications that require high-speed data transfer and power distribution. Type A connectors have a pitch of 2.54mm and are available in 20, 32, 48, 64, 96, and 120 positions. They are also available in male and female versions.
Type A connectors are used in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, data processing, and industrial automation. They are also used in military and aerospace applications due to their high reliability and durability.
2. Type B Connectors
Type B connectors are similar to Type A connectors but have a pitch of 5.08mm. They are available in 16, 32, 48, 64, 96, and 120 positions. Type B connectors are used in applications that require high current carrying capacity and are commonly used in power distribution applications.
Type B connectors are also used in applications that require high-speed data transfer, such as telecommunications and data processing. They are available in male and female versions and are designed to be mated with Type A connectors.
3. Type C Connectors
Type C connectors are designed for use in applications that require high-density packaging. They have a pitch of 1.27mm and are available in 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, and 100 positions. Type C connectors are commonly used in telecommunications and data processing applications.
Type C connectors are available in male and female versions and are designed to be mated with Type C connectors. They are also available in right-angle and vertical configurations.
4. Type D Connectors
Type D connectors are designed for use in applications that require high-density packaging and high-speed data transfer. They have a pitch of 2mm and are available in 20, 32, 48, 64, 96, and 120 positions. Type D connectors are commonly used in telecommunications and data processing applications.
Type D connectors are available in male and female versions and are designed to be mated with Type D connectors. They are also available in right-angle and vertical configurations.
5. Type E Connectors
Type E connectors are designed for use in applications that require high-density packaging and high-speed data transfer. They have a pitch of 1.27mm and are available in 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, and 100 positions. Type E connectors are commonly used in telecommunications and data processing applications.
Type E connectors are available in male and female versions and are designed to be mated with Type E connectors. They are also available in right-angle and vertical configurations.
6. Type F Connectors
Type F connectors are designed for use in applications that require high-density packaging and high-speed data transfer. They have a pitch of 1mm and are available in 20, 32, 48, 64, 96, and 120 positions. Type F connectors are commonly used in telecommunications and data processing applications.
Type F connectors are available in male and female versions and are designed to be mated with Type F connectors. They are also available in right-angle and vertical configurations.
7. Type R Connectors
Type R connectors are designed for use in applications that require high-density packaging and high-speed data transfer. They have a pitch of 0.8mm and are available in 20, 32, 48, 64, 96, and 120 positions. Type R connectors are commonly used in telecommunications and data processing applications.
Type R connectors are available in male and female versions and are designed to be mated with Type R connectors. They are also available in right-angle and vertical configurations.
