We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Backplane connector",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Backplane connectors are easy on dughtercards from
TTI Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Z-Pack TinMan connector design offers a fully protected right-angle receptacle for use on daughtercards where handling damage can be a concern".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Analogue outputs are isolated against hum from
Microstar Laboratories: "Signal-conditioning expansion board features eight single-ended analogue outputs, with an isolated ground for each output".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Tyco Electronics - Comns Computer Consumer Elctrns
- take a look at Connector companies bury the hatchet
which says: "FCI and Tyco Electronics have agreed a settlement in their dispute over high-speed back panel connector product families".
Take a look also at the news release from Microstar Laboratories, Digital I/O board performs in isolation,
as well as Flexible design for fast backplane connectors from Molex UK,
and Connectors are desinged for flexible deployment from Yamaichi Electronics.
