Backplane Connectors - Housings

Category Introduction

Backplane connectors are used in high reliability applications such as computer buses and often employ secure fastening hardware for board, free hanging, through-hole, and panel mounting depending on the contact used. Connector housings do not include contacts or additional features such as shielding and backshells. They are differentiated by contact pitch, number of position and rows, connector type, and style.

About Backplane Connectors - Housings

What are Backplane Connectors - Housings?

Backplane Connectors - Housings

Backplane connectors - housings are integral components in electronic systems, serving as the interface between printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic modules. These housings provide a structured framework that supports and aligns the backplane connectors, ensuring reliable electrical connections and mechanical stability. They work by securely holding the connectors in place, allowing for seamless data and power transmission across multiple boards. The basic operating principle involves aligning the connectors within the housing to facilitate efficient signal transfer, minimizing signal loss and interference.

Types of Backplane Connectors - Housings

1. Standard Housings

Standard housings are designed for general-purpose applications, offering a balance between cost and performance. They are typically used in environments where moderate levels of signal integrity and mechanical robustness are required. These housings are often made from durable plastics or metals, providing adequate protection and alignment for the connectors.

2. High-Density Housings

High-density housings are engineered to accommodate a large number of connectors within a compact space. They are ideal for applications requiring high data throughput and minimal footprint, such as telecommunications and data centers. These housings often feature advanced materials and design techniques to support high-speed data transmission and reduce crosstalk.

3. Ruggedized Housings

Ruggedized housings are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, vibrations, and moisture. They are commonly used in military, aerospace, and industrial applications where reliability and durability are paramount. These housings are typically constructed from robust materials like reinforced plastics or metals, with additional sealing features to protect against environmental ingress.

How to choose Backplane Connectors - Housings?

When selecting backplane connectors - housings, several key parameters should be considered:

  • Compatibility: Ensure the housing is compatible with the specific backplane connectors and PCBs in use.
  • Density Requirements: Consider the number of connectors needed and the available space to determine the appropriate housing type.
  • Environmental Conditions: Evaluate the operating environment to select housings with suitable protection against temperature, moisture, and mechanical stress.
  • Material and Construction: Choose materials that offer the necessary strength and durability for the application.
  • Supplier Reliability: Assess the reputation and quality assurance practices of suppliers to ensure consistent product performance.

Evaluating product quality involves reviewing technical specifications, testing certifications, and customer reviews. Installation requirements, such as mounting options and alignment features, should also be considered to ensure ease of assembly and maintenance.
