DIN 41612

The DIN standard DIN 41612, colloquially referred to as VG-strip defined types of connectors, which primarily are used for multi-pole electrical connection of printed circuit boards in the field of low voltage. The standard consisted of several parts and was in February 1999 by the European Standard EN 60603-2, also known as IEC 60603-2, replaced.

The class of these connectors is composed of 13 different basic designs and many, mostly proprietary, derived versions. All of these connectors are 41494 used in the range of 19 " racks according to the standard DIN for connection between the plug-in cards, which are usually designed in the format of maps of Europe, and the behind the rack housed backplane. , The backplane, also called backplane, provides the electrical connections between the individual slots ago.

The number of poles of the plug extends from 20 to 160 pins. Due to the high number of poles, these plugs are used, among other things, for buses, such as the Europe Card bus or VMEbus.

The connector can be configured in different ways, for example with leading contacts. The connector pins can be configured in press-fit or solder termination.

Species

The standard distinguishes among other things, the following material types:

2 row (B) or (C ) 3-row PCB connector with 30-160 Poland a maximum current-carrying capacity of 2 A per pin. Typical applications are in the range of bus services in the IT field.

Widely used is the C64 Header, whose contact rows a and c are each equipped with 32 contacts. The C96 Header is to identical and has an additional mean contact number b with a total of 96 contacts.

2-row ( D) or (E) 3- row connectors with up to 48 poles with a maximum current-carrying capacity of 6 A per pin. Applications lie in telephone networks and telecommunications facilities where these connectors are usually by means of wire wrap connections.

2- row connectors with 11 ( H11) or 15 ( H15 ) contacts and a current carrying capacity of 15 A per pin. This plug type is usually in the range of power supplies for supplying electrical power to the modules in a rack application. The dielectric strength of this design is up to 3 kV.
