Connector SCHROFF type F female, DIN 41612 / EN 60603, 48 contacts, solder eyelets, 9.5 mm

SCHROFF type F female connector compliant with DIN 41612 and EN 60603 standards, offering 48 solder-eyelet contacts and a 9.5 mm pitch dimension. The connector is designed for board-to-backplane and interconnection use in industrial, telecommunications and test equipment where a standardized, compact multi-contact interface with soldered terminations is required.

Advantages

This female DIN 41612 connector provides a standardized mechanical footprint and electrical interface that facilitates interchangeability and compatibility with matching type F mating components. The 48-contact configuration enables dense signal routing while solder eyelets ensure secure, low-resistance terminations suitable for wave or hand soldering. Compliance with EN 60603 confirms defined electrical and mechanical characteristics, supporting reliable long-term connections in rack-mounted and chassis-based assemblies.

Suitable for

• Backplane and PCB interconnections in industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment and networking racks
• Measurement and test instruments requiring standardized connectors
• Repair and refurbishment of modular electronic chassis

Key specifications

• Connector type: female, Type F (DIN 41612 / EN 60603 compliant)
• Number of contacts: 48
• Contact termination: solder eyelets (lugs) for through-hole soldering
• Pitch / dimension reference: 9.5 mm
• Mounting style: PCB / backplane through-hole
• Intended use: multi-contact rack/chassis interconnections

How to use

Position the connector on the PCB or backplane according to the standardized Type F footprint, ensuring correct alignment of rows and mounting holes. Secure the connector mechanically if required before soldering. Perform soldering of the eyelets using appropriate soldering technique (wave or hand soldering) and temperature profiles compatible with the board and components. After soldering, inspect joints for full solder fill and continuity testing to verify correct electrical connections.

Usage recommendations

Ensure mating counterparts conform to the same DIN 41612 / EN 60603 type F specification to maintain mechanical fit and electrical reliability. When designing PCBs, allow for proper mechanical reinforcement around the connector and follow recommended soldering temperatures to avoid damage to the housing or contacts. For high-density or critical signal applications, verify contact resistance and perform environmental or vibration tests as required by your product specifications.
