Features of the DIN connectors for board-to-board applications
DIN connectors continue to enjoy widespread usage, in particular in industrial applications. For example, the VME bus, which has been on the market for more than 35 years, relies on DIN connectors. It has managed to secure a very good position in the industrial computer and is also used in new developments. The variety of different types and termination technologies (press-fit, dip soldering, manual soldering, wrapping, crimping, THR) for DIN connectors cover a wide range of applications. In addition, the sturdy and reliable design continues to ensure the future of the connectors. Today, applications using DIN connectors are implemented in signal transmission as well as transmission of higher currents – in all areas of industrial electronics, from control technology to motor controls, right through to industrial PCs.
