Eurocard C-Style Receptacle for Backplane Assemblies
The 5535059-4: Only 64 positions are loaded with gold-plated female sockets — the remaining 32 positions are unpopulated, which means the board layout must match the loaded pattern, not the full grid. This connector is designed for press-fit termination into a plated through-hole backplane, eliminating solder and allowing rework without desoldering.
Press-Fit Termination and Backplane Fit
The through-hole mounting style anchors the receptacle to the board, and the 0.100" pitch aligns with the standard Eurocard grid for trace routing.
Mating and Compliance
This receptacle mates with a DIN 41612 C-style male header (typically the 5535059 series counterpart with pin contacts). The C-style keying ensures correct orientation and prevents cross-mating with other DIN styles.
