It carries female blade sockets in a 4-row layout, all 8 positions loaded as power contacts — no signal pins here. It is a board-edge, right-angle mount part, terminated by press-fit pins that push into plated through-holes on the backplane — no soldering required, which simplifies assembly and allows individual pin replacement if needed.
Rated at 30V, this connector handles logic-level power distribution within a backplane — think 5V or 12V rails, not mains voltage.
Board Guide and Mounting Details
A board guide feature is built into the housing — this aligns the connector during blind mating into the backplane slot, taking shear off the press-fit pins during installation. Through-hole mounting with press-fit termination means the connector is mechanically retained before any soldering step, which helps in wave-solder or selective-solder processes where the backplane sees the rest of its components soldered.
