DIN 41612 Type C/R Shroud — 96 Positions, 3 Rows, 2.54 mm Pitch
The TE Connectivity 535074-2 is a 96-position shroud for male pins in the Eurocard series, following the DIN 41612 Type C and Type R standard. This is the shroud only — the crimp contacts that go into it are ordered separately, so the BOM line for this part covers the plastic shell, not the full connector assembly.
What the 96-Position, 3-Row Layout Means for Your Backplane
The through-hole mounting gives a solder joint that handles the insertion and extraction forces of a loaded card cage better than a surface-mount part would. Because the shroud is keyed to the Type C and Type R contact patterns, the mating male header must match one of those two DIN variants; a Type B or Type D header will not align.
This is a common arrangement for DIN 41612 shrouds — the shell and the crimp pins are line items on separate part numbers. The mating male pins are typically ordered as TE Eurocard series crimp contacts, and the shroud accepts them after they are terminated to the wire.
