HDM® Configuration

Amphenol's HDM Connector System is modular, which means that custom connector patterns can be created simply by arranging end-stackable modules in any fashion. Individual modules contain signal contacts, power contacts, polarizing and guidance features. Additionally, the daughterboard connector modules can be specified with or without shield contacts. The shielded version of the HDM connector, called HDM PLUS®, is particularly useful in applications that need high signal-pin density combined with high-speed signal integrity (i.e. reduced crosstalk). By placing the shielding only on the daughterboard-half of the interconnect, users can easily migrate from non-shielded to shielded versions without reworking the backplane.

Standard Backplane Module

Modules can be end-stacked in the backplane, held in place by the signal pins in the PWB.

   

Backplane Module with Endwall

Endwalls are used to guide the connector into the correct mating position

   

Polarizing & Guidance Connectors

Modules are available to help guide large connectors to blind mate. Modules can be added to both the backplane connector and the daughtercard side.

   

Power Connectors

Modules rated for 36 AMPs can be used end stacked for power applications, or individually to reduce space needed to bring current to the daughtercard.

   

Cross-Section Detail

 

   

Shielded Daughtercard

A shield is added to the receptacle side of the connector for improved signal integrity.

   

Unshielded Daughtercard

Unshielded connectors can maximize the number of slower signals carried and assign grounds ONLY to high speed lines.

   

HDM Backplane Module

Both shielded and unshielded modules fit into the same backplane component allowing mixed shielded/unshielded modules on the daughtercard assembly.

   
 

The HDM signal connector modules—backplane and daughterboard—come in two lengths: 72-pin (24mm) and 144-pin (48mm). These modules can be combined along with power modules and modules containing polarizing and guidance to achieve the desired pin count and mix of features. The illustrations below show the basic dimensional footprints for these respective modules.
