General information
The DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2 connector family consists of 13
basic sizes and many complementary versions.
It was developed for use in 19" rack systems in accordance
with DIN 41494. The large number of different sizes and the
efficient connection techniques have made it possible to install
these connectors for an extremely wide range of applications.
Typical areas of application:
• Connection between plug-in card and back-panel wiring
• Connection between two PCB’s arranged one above the
other
• Connection to peripheral equipment with connector
housings as accessories
• As periphery connectors for external interfaces from the
wiring side
Main features
• Two piece printed circuit board connectors
• International approvals, such as UL or CSA
• 13 connector sizes with the same plugin and mounting
conditions
• Additional connector sizes complementing the
DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2
• Different coding available
• Up to 160 pins/contacts
• Two to five row connectors possible
• Various termination types available
• 2.54 mm (1/10") basic pitch
• Early make/last break contacts available on request
• Wide range of accessories
• Complete interface system available
• All female connectors montioned in this data sheet have
dual sided female contact spring.
This contact principle even offers a max. security in contacting
and remaining contact resistence in extreme situations.
Early make/last break
For the connectors size B, C, Q, R, D, E and F 0,8 mm early
make/last break male contacts can be loaded in any position
in rows a, b, c, d, e and z.
The early make/last break of the high current connectors size
H11 and H15 have a length of 3,5 mm (1,5 mm on request).
Other lengths of early make/last break contacts on request.
Approval certificates
UL All male and female connectors of this data sheet
are approved by the American approvals authority
„Underwriters Laboratories Inc.“ File Nr. E 84703.
CSA For all our male and female connectors we have the
recognition of the „Canadian Standard Association“
under the File Nr. LR 62504.
Pre-centering
For applications with early make/last break contacts the male
connector insulators with pre-centering ensures even more
reliable mating.
The insulators of the female connectors have a recess at an
appropriate point. The dimensions of these versions do not
conform to the specifications of DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2. The
ordering details are not listed in this data sheet but they can
be supplied on request.
Male connectors with pre-centering do not fit female
connectors without a pre-centering recess.

Size H7/F24 connectors have integral coding by means of
coding pins. The male connectors have drill centering
recesses which require the complete hole to be drilled for
coding pin loading. The coding pins from the male connectors
can then be inserted into the complementary holes predrilled
in the female connectors.
The 7 high-current contacts of H7/F24 connectors are hard
silver-plated and their electrical and mechanical service life
conforms to Performance Level 1. The 24 low level signal
contacts are as described for size F. They are gold-plated in
the mating zone in accordance with the stated Performance
Level and are tin-plated in the terminal zone.

Mating conditions (overlapping security)
see example size C
The connectors as per DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2 are produced
so that the tolerance buildup, which can develop during
installation, will not lead to any misalignment. On the mated
pair it has to be ensured that the for each connector sizes
permissable min. lenght of the male contact ist within the
tolerance of =12.4 mm till 14.2 mm in order to meet the
current flow resistance.

These drawings contain important dimensions for the use of
DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2 connectors in 19" rack systems.
The mounting dimensions shown for size F connectors
illustrates how the width of 3 x 5.08 mm is maintained by
means of the pitch offset between mating side and soldering
side. Thus size F connectors can still be mounted in the
3 x 5.08 mm module.
