We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Backplane connectors",
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 More power to backplane connectors from
Tyco Electronics - Comns Computer Consumer Elctrns, which we summarised at the time by saying "High-current dual-row board-to-board or backplane power module connector offers long-term reliability in demanding environments".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Backplane connectors are easy on dughtercards from
TTI Europe: "The Z-Pack TinMan connector design offers a fully protected right-angle receptacle for use on daughtercards where handling damage can be a concern".
In October 2007, we covered the news from XJTAG
concerning its Boundary scan development system
- take a look at Critical controller boards put on trial
which says: "System provides a comprehensive set of tools to test, debug and program complex printed circuits containing ball grid array devices".
Take a look also at the news release from Power-One, DC front end offers flexible power system design,
as well as Flexible design for fast backplane connectors from Molex UK,
and Digital processing engine meets VPX standard from Mistral Software.
