54-position backplane receptacle — press-fit, right-angle
The TE Connectivity 2132424-1 is a 54-position receptacle in the Impact series, arranged as 9 rows by 6 columns. Each contact is rated 0.75A at 30V, which puts this squarely in the signal path — differential pairs, control lines, or low-speed data — not power delivery. All 54 positions are loaded, so no blanking or depopulation — what you see on the BOM is what you get.
Press-fit termination — no solder, no reflow
Press-fit means the compliant pin cold-deforms into the plated through-hole, creating a gas-tight joint without solder. That eliminates the thermal cycle of wave or reflow soldering, which is a plus for large backplane panels where warpage is a risk. It also makes rework possible — a damaged receptacle can be pressed out and replaced without desoldering.
