The Z-PACK 2 mm HM Interconnection System is a versatile two-part connector system designed for board-to-board connections, enabling the interconnection of free boards (daughterboards, printed circuit boards) to a fixed board (motherboard, backplane, or back panel). It also facilitates cable connections to printed circuit boards, allowing for multiple configurations. The system supports standard connections, including free board to fixed board setups with standard right-angle female connectors on the free board and standard vertical male connectors on the fixed board. Connectors are equipped with miniaturized EON pin contacts, and can be stacked along the edge of the PC board to meet signal requirements. Features include guide and polarization posts, and optional Multi-Purpose Centers (MPC) for coding devices. The system is compliant with IEC917, IEC 61076-4-101, DIN 41626, DIN 43356, and IEEE 1301 standards.
| Type | Signal Contacts | Length | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type A | 110 | 50 mm | MPC, Guiding, Polarization |
| Type B | 125 | 50 mm / 44 mm / 38 mm | (No explicit features listed, but can be stacked between modules with alignment features) |
| Type C | 55 | 25 mm | Guiding, Polarization (Extension Module) |
| Type A/B | 125 | 50 mm / 44 mm / 38 mm | Guide, Polarization |
Note: Male connectors can optionally have 2 additional rows for ground return. Female connectors have 5 rows and an optional two-part ground return shield. Extension modules (Types C) are 25 mm, 38 mm, and 44 mm long. All other modules are 50 mm long.
