This style is common in industrial backplanes and card-cage systems where a full C-form connector is over-specified, and the outer two rows of the three-row grid provide the signal count without the centre row. Gold or gold-palladium contact finish is specified, which supports the repeated mating cycles typical of field-serviceable Eurocard subracks. ## What the C/2 Style Means for Your Backplane Slot The C/2 (1/2 C) designation means this receptacle occupies the outer two rows (rows a and c) of a three-row DIN 41612 C-form connector. The centre row (row b) is omitted, so the connector body is the same width as a full C-form, but only 48 of the 96 possible positions are populated. This is a deliberate choice for applications that need the mechanical keying and polarisation of the C-form shell but only half the signal count. The mating half must also be a C/2 style header — a full C-form header with all three rows populated will leave the centre row pins unconnected, but the mechanical fit is identical. ## Temperature Range and Flammability for Enclosed Equipment The connector is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the current EU restriction on hazardous substances.","metaTitle":"TE 8-1393640-5 Eurocard DIN Receptacle, 48 Pos, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"TE 8-1393640-5 Eurocard DIN 41612 receptacle, 48 positions, 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch, C/2 style, 3 rows, through-hole solder, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Eurocard","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Backplane Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Pitch":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Style":"C/2 (1/2 C)","Series":"Eurocard","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Termination":"Solder","Level, Class":"2","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Receptacle, Female Sockets","Contact Finish":"Gold or Gold-Palladium","Number of Rows":"3","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Base Product Number":"1393640","Number of Positions":"48","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Material - Insulation":"Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Polyester, Glass Filled","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 125°C","Contact Finish Thickness":"-","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$4.6000","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$4.60000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$4.03400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.92840","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.84400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.61170","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$3.59056","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.35822","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$2.99917","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$2.78796","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/530fca6e3b108ee91b929fb978455c8f.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch and position count for 8-1393640-5?","answer":"The pitch is 0.100\" (2.54mm) and the connector has 48 positions loaded across three rows, using the C/2 (1/2 C) style where only the outer two rows are populated."},{"question":"Can 8-1393640-5 be used as a replacement for older DIN 41612 receptacles?","answer":"Yes, it is a standard DIN 41612 C/2 form factor receptacle, so it will mechanically fit any backplane slot designed for a C-form connector.
