Backplane Header for High-Speed Systems
The Amphenol 951200C40H is a 6-position header from the XCede® series, designed as a high-speed backplane interconnect. The header uses press-fit termination, meaning it installs without solder, which is standard for backplane assemblies where rework and field replacement matter.
Press-Fit Assembly and Board Layout
The press-fit compliant pin eliminates the need for a soldering step during backplane assembly. The through-hole mounting requires a plated through-hole diameter matched to the pin geometry — typically specified in the manufacturer's application drawing.
