Connector Backplane

Definition: A backplane connector is a type of electrical connector used to connect multiple printed circuit boards (PCBs) in a parallel configuration, typically within a chassis or rack-mounted system.

Key Features:

• High-density pin layout
• Supports high-speed signal transmission
• Used in telecom, computing, and industrial systems
• Common types: DIN 41612, VME, VPX, PCIe, etc.

Applications: Servers, routers, switches, medical equipment, military systems.

Design Considerations: Impedance control, crosstalk reduction, power delivery, EMI shielding.
