MetPak™ HM Series, Hard Metric, Standard

Hard Metric and Standard types, are interconnection devices designed for use in board or panel systems. These connectors provide a means for plugging in additional circuit boards, facilitating the interconnection and communication between various electronic modules. The Hard Metric and Standard backplane connectors have a specific pitch, which refers to the distance between adjacent contact points on the connector. They typically have a 2.0 mm pitch from row to row and column to column. The number of positions available on these connectors can vary, ranging from 3 (Power) to 308 (220 + 88 Ground). These connectors come in different pitch dimensions, including 0.050” (1.27 mm), 0.071” (1.80 mm), 0.079” (2.00 mm), 0.150” (3.81 mm), or 0.295” (7.50 mm). The pitch dimension determines the spacing and arrangement of the contact points, allowing for efficient and secure connections. Backplane connectors, especially the Hard Metric and Standard types, are known for their reliability and efficiency in interconnecting electronic modules. They offer a range of configurations to accommodate various system requirements and ensure compatibility among different brands and models. In summary, Hard Metric and Standard backplane connectors are essential components in board or panel systems. They enable the connection of multiple circuit boards, supporting the smooth operation and communication of electronic equipment. These connectors adhere to specific pitch dimensions and provide a reliable interconnection solution for various applications.
