General information Main features
The DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2 connector family consists of 13 • Two piece printed circuit board connectors
basic sizes and many complementary versions. • International approvals, such as UL or CSA
It was developed for use in 19" rack systems in accordance • 13 connector sizes with the same plugin and mounting
with DIN 41494. The large number of different sizes and the conditions
efficient connection techniques have made it possible to install • Additional connector sizes complementing the
these connectors for an extremely wide range of applications. DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2
Typical areas of application: • Different coding available
• Connection between plug-in card and back-panel wiring • Up to 160 pins/contacts
• Connection between two PCB’s arranged one above the • Two to five row connectors possible
other • Various termination types available
• Connection to peripheral equipment with connector • 2.54 mm (1/10") basic pitch
housings as accessories • Early make/last break contacts available on request
• As periphery connectors for external interfaces from the • Wide range of accessories
wiring side • 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 Approval certificates

For the connectors size B, C, Q, R, D, E and F 0,8 mm early UL All male and female connectors of this data sheet
make/last break male contacts can be loaded in any position are approved by the American approvals authority
in rows a, b, c, d, e and z. „Underwriters Laboratories Inc.“ File Nr. E 84703.
The early make/last break of the high current connectors size CSA For all our male and female connectors we have the
H11 and H15 have a length of 3,5 mm (1,5 mm on request). recognition of the „Canadian Standard Association“
Other lengths of early make/last break contacts on request. 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.

Codings
Various coding systems are available for the connectors
contained in this data sheet.
• Integrated coding with coding wedges. In this case coding
wedges are fitted into the female connectors and the male

DIN 41612
connectors are provided with corresponding recesses.
• Integrated coding with coding pins. In this case coding pins
are inserted into the female connectors and holes are drilled
in the male connectors in the coding positions.
• Coding with coding strips.These coding strips are mounted
together with the connector. For ERNI coding strips no
extra modular space is required in the 19" rack system.

Retentive clip
For efficient mounting of the right angle connectors ERNI
offers a retentive clip.
These clips are installed to the connector by ERNI. The
connectors are attached to the pc board with this clip, which
locks into the drillholes on the pc board, max. thickness
of pcb = 1,6 mm.
Since the clips can also be soldered, plated-through PCB
holes are recommended in such applications. Connectors
with retentive clips are available upon request.

Wiring accessories
The ERNI connector housing range together with the ERNI
interface connector system offers optimum protection for all
plug-in interfaces for DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2 connectors.
The range is dimensioned for the 19" rack system. Suitable
variants are available for virtually every type of connector.
Whether you intend to use a short type B/2 connector or a
64-pin insulation displacement connector, the ERNI range
offers you the ideal housing.
• KSG 173 Size: B, C, D, E, M, H11, H15, Q, R,
E160, TE160, RD128
• KSG 193 Size: B/2, C/2, Q/2, R/2
• KSG 203 Size: F, Fi
• KSG 253 Size: C (IDC)
• KSG 204 Size: F, Fi

The connector housings are prepared for a maximum of

3 cable outlets and are fitted with strain-relief clamps. A
metal-plated version for screening purposes os also available.
For plug-in interfaces on the front or back panel of the rack
ERNI has developed guide elements and guide frames in
collaboration with well-known users. Thes elements permit
exact guidance for correct mating and provide robust screw
locking. In addition you can fit a coding device.

Addition to the range

Type E connectors are fitted with contacts in the rows a, c, e
in order to achieve large clearances and creepage distances.
Rows b and d are not fitted with contacts in the conventional
version.

However, there are many applications in which this large

clearance and creepage distance is not necessary but instead
the user requires higher packaging density.
For such applications ERNI developed the type E 160 some
years ago. The dimensions of the moulding are those of size E
but contacts are fitted in all 5 rows at 2.54 mm pitch.

This development led to a high-density connector with mating

and installation conditions in accordance with
DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2.

Thus the user has all the advantages of the DIN 41612/
IEC 60603-2 connector which is used worldwide.
If a enlarged application is requiered, then the combination
of two E 160 connectors plus one of ERNI’s Eurocard Center
connectors can provide 320 signal connections with 5
dedicated mixed contacts (power, coax, and/or fiber optics)
or a tatal of 362 signal connections on a double Eurocard.
