The DIN standard DIN 41612 , known colloquially as the VG strip , defines the design of connectors , which are primarily used for the multi-pole electrical connection of circuit boards in the low voltage area. The standard consisted of several parts and was replaced in February 1999 by the European standard EN 60603-2 , also known as IEC 60603-2 .

The class of these connectors consists of a total of 13 different basic designs and many, mostly manufacturer-specific, derived versions. All these connectors are in the range of 19 "racks according to the standard DIN 41494 for the connection between the plug-in cards, which are usually in the format of Europe cards used are designed and behind accommodated in the rack backplane. The backplane, as a backplane referred to, the electric Connections between the individual slots.

The number of pins on the connector ranges from 20 to 160 pins. Due to the high number of poles, these connectors are used for buses such as the Europe Card Bus or the VMEbus .

The plugs can be configured differently, for example with leading contacts . The connection pins can be designed using press-fit technology or as a soldered connection .

Among other things, the standard distinguishes between the following essential designs:

Types B and C

2-row (B) or (C) 3-row PCB connectors with 20 to 160 poles with a maximum current rating of 2 A per pin at 20 ° C ambient temperature or 1.6 A at 70 ° C or 1.0 A. at 100 ° C. Typical applications are in the area of ​​bus connections in the IT sector.

The C64 connector is widely used, the contact rows a and c of which are each equipped with 32 contacts. The C96 connector has an additional middle row of contacts b with a total of 96 contacts.

Types D and E

2-row (D) or (E) 3-row connectors with up to 48 poles with a maximum current rating of 6 A per pole at 20 ° C ambient temperature. Areas of application are in telephone networks and telecommunications facilities, where these connectors are usually designed using wire wrap connections.

Type H

2-row connector with 11 (H11) or 15 (H15) contacts and a current rating of 15 A per pin at 20 ° C ambient temperature. This connector design is mostly used in the area of power supply units for supplying electrical energy to the components of a rack. The dielectric strength of this design is up to 3 kV.
