ERNI ERmet 2 mm Pitch Hard Metric Type B8 Backplane Connector, Vertical Male, 8 Column, 7 Row, 40 Way 214431 / 2336514-1

ERNI 214431 / 2336514-1 is a Hard Metric Type B8 backplane connector designed for demanding electronic applications requiring high density and reliability. This 2 mm pitch connector features 40 contacts distributed across 8 columns and 7 rows in a vertical male configuration, making it suitable for backplane, board-to-board, and mezzanine applications.

The connector is constructed with a robust polybutylene terephthalate housing and phosphor bronze contact material coated with gold plating to ensure excellent electrical performance and resistance to wear. Its through-hole press fit termination provides simple and secure PCB mounting.

Designed to operate across a wide temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, it guarantees consistent connectivity in harsh industrial environments. The contact pins offer a long 2.5 mm wipe length which enhances mating reliability even in adverse conditions.

The 3-stage sequential mating feature supports hot swap functionality, allowing connections and disconnections without system downtime. Additionally, it includes alignment and polarisation features along with optional shielding and PCB location pegs that improve mechanical stability and signal integrity.

This ERmet series connector conforms to international IEC 61076-4-101 standards and is widely adopted in telecommunications, networking systems, and industrial computing sectors, including CompactPCI implementations.

This product consists of a 40-contact vertical male Backplane Connector with 8 columns and 7 rows. It supports currents up to 1.5A and operates with exceptional reliability in high-performance electronic environments. Its modular design ensures flexible PCB arrangements and hot-swappable operations.

The press fit termination enables robust and low-maintenance PCB assembly. It is a cost-effective and industry-standard solution for high density connector applications. Explore more high-quality connectors from ERNI and other leading brands in the Connectors category at EnvMart.
