Product details

DIN 41612 Style F Plug for Backplane Interconnects

The TE Connectivity 2-164045-4 is a DIN 41612 Style F plug, the standard male connector for Eurocard backplane systems. This right-angle through-hole plug mates parallel to the PCB, making it the daughtercard half that plugs into a Style C or R receptacle on the backplane.

96 Positions, 48 Loaded — the Real BOM Line

The 2-164045-4 is a 96-position connector body with only 48 positions loaded. This is not a partial-population option — it is the standard DIN 41612 Style F configuration, where rows a and c are loaded and row b is unloaded. If your backplane layout calls for a fully populated 96-pin male plug, you need a different style (Style C or R). For a VMEbus J1/J2 application, the 48 loaded positions match the signal and ground pin assignment exactly; the empty row b cavities provide additional clearance for routing on the backplane.

Right-Angle Solder Tails for Board-Edge Mounting

The through-hole right-angle termination places the connector body flush against the PCB edge, with the solder tails extending into plated through-holes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between DIN 41612 style C and F?

Style C is a 96-position female receptacle with all three rows loaded (rows a, b, c). Style F is the 96-position male plug with only rows a and c loaded (48 positions); row b is unloaded. Style F plugs mate with Style C or R receptacles.

Can 2-164045-4 be used in VME bus applications?

Yes, the 2-164045-4 is a standard DIN 41612 Style F plug used in VMEbus systems. The 48 loaded positions (rows a and c) match the J1/J2 signal and ground pin assignments for a VMEbus daughtercard.
