Hybrid Power-Signal Header for Backplane Distribution
The TE Connectivity MINIPAK HDL 1926736-2 is a 35-position right-angle header that carries both signal and power in one connector body — 25 signal pins and 10 power blades in a single 2.00 mm pitch row. The press-fit termination means no solder joints on the backplane, which simplifies assembly and rework. Rated UL94 V-0 for the housing, so it passes the flame rating required inside telecom and server enclosures.
Board Layout Fit — 2.00 mm Pitch, Edge-Mount Footprint
The Mating Guide feature helps align the connector halves during blind-mate assembly, which is common in card-cage installations where you can't see the interface.
Press-Fit Termination — No Solder, Field-Rework Friendly
That is the standard choice for high-reliability backplanes where solder joint inspection is impractical and rework of a soldered connector means desoldering 35 positions. If a pin gets damaged in the field, a press-fit pin can be extracted and replaced without heating the board. The trade-off is that the PCB hole size and plating thickness must match the compliant pin geometry — the board shop needs the TE recommended footprint for the 1926736-2.
