DIN 41612 Header for Backplane and Rack Systems
The Hirose PCN10-64P-2.54DSA(72) is a 64-position male header from the PCN10 series, built to the DIN 41612 standard for backplane and rack-and-panel interconnect.
This is the straight (vertical) version of the 64-position PCN10 header — the pins sit perpendicular to the PCB plane, making it the standard choice for a backplane motherboard where the daughtercard plugs in at a right angle. The through-hole solder tails anchor into plated through-holes on the board; no press-fit tooling needed.
Straight vs Right-Angle — PCN10-64P-2.54DSA(72) vs PCN10-64P-2.54DS(72)
The PCN10-64P-2.54DS(72) is the right-angle version of this same 64-position, 0.100" pitch, Style B header. Both carry the same 2 A rating, gold plating thickness, and UL94 V-0 PBT housing. Choose based on your backplane card-guide geometry — the rest of the BOM line stays the same.
