Millipacs^® 2.00mm Hard Metric (HM) backplane connectors were launched during the 1990s when most of the applications required few hundreds of Gigabit data rates.

With special signal pinning and adequate provision of ground pins, data rate enhancement up to 3Gb/s was possible. Due to the need for improved signal integrity and higher bandwidth, Telecom and Data markets demanded connectors with higher speed and differential signals. 

Backplane connectors are basic electrical connectors that help in connecting one PCB to other. The backplane connector adds mechanical strength and stability to the design. These can be widely classified into 3 types based on their speed. 

DIN 41612 is a comprehensive backplane offering from Amphenol ICC with a legacy of nearly five decades. With a broad range of DIN 41612 styles; these connectors has an edge over other backplane connector solutions in terms of mass deployment specifically in Industrial and Instrumentation sectors.

Amphenol ICC has made imperative design upgrades to the product mix to enhance its performance and endurance. 

Major OEM and component manufacturers including Amphenol ICC are collaborating to help data center designers shed their proprietary outlook and go open source. 

Open Compute Alliance

A consortium known as the Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP) endorses and publicly releases data center designs from its member OEMs like Facebook and Microsoft.  These designs can be utilized by every other aspiring vendor to their clients’ benefit.    (阅读更多)
