scope:

This drawing outlines the requirements for a specific member of a family of compact high contact density (.050 inch (1.27 mm)), high performance two piece electrical connectors. These connectors are intended for printed circuit board (plug in dual heat sinked daughter board modules, and fixed backplanes) applications utilizing surface mount daughter board and compliant pin backpanel termination techniques. The connector family includes members, which provide combinations of low power signal contacts, power contacts, shielded contacts and optical termini. The connector family offers severe operating environment performance capability, such as protective hoods, contact sealing, interfacial seals, electrostatic shielding and other advanced capabilities.

This connector family is organized and fabricated utilizing modular design, with available connector module blocks which can be grouped to provide for combinations of low power signal contacts, fiber optic termini, power contacts, and shielded contacts. Specific implementation groupings of these module blocks constitute elements of the connector family. This specific requirement drawing details a member of the connector family, which is composed of:

a. 6 standard low power insulator blocks.

b. 1 alpha end.

c. 1 beta end.

d. 1 center insulator, for use with standard low power blade contacts.

e. 1 power block. Which when combined provided a total of 280 signal contacts and 2 power pins.

This assembly mates with a DLA Land and Maritime drawing 93012 daughterboard connector. The backpanel connector assembly also includes an electrostatic shield which mates with a daughter card connector metal shroud, providing an electrostatic shield for all contacts in the connector pair. The backpanel connector insulator blocks also provide for installation of three connector keying bushings and allows for use of a center guide pin. This family member does not include module blocks, which contain fiber optic termini, or shielded contact elements. Other members of this connector family, which include these additional capabilities, are included in separate DLA Land and Maritime drawings 93002 to 93013.
