DIN 41617 Series, DIN 41612

DIN 41612 standard is a specification that defines rectangular format electrical connectors. These connectors are commonly used in card-and-rack style modular systems, particularly in the field of information technology and similar equipment. The DIN 41612 connectors are specifically designed to provide a blind mateable connection, meaning they can be mated or disconnected without requiring visual alignment. These connectors are typically utilized in relatively benign operating environments where reliable interconnection between electronic modules is required. They offer modularity, allowing for easy replacement or removal of individual components without disrupting the entire system. Adhering to the DIN 41612 standard ensures compatibility and interchangeability among different brands and models of connectors. The standard specifies the physical dimensions, mechanical properties, contact arrangements, and electrical characteristics of these connectors, enabling seamless integration into various systems. The DIN 41612 connectors have gained widespread adoption in the industry due to their versatility, reliability, and adherence to a recognized standard. They facilitate efficient and secure connectivity in card-and-rack style modular systems, contributing to the smooth operation of information technology and related equipment.
