FAQ
Q: What is a DIN 41612 30-Pin connector?
A: The DIN 41612 30-Pin (also known as a European 30-pin socket) is a classic board-to-board/backplane connector conforming to the DIN 41612 / IEC 60603-2 standard. It features 3 rows × 10 pins = 30 contacts with a 2.54mm pitch, used for PCB interconnection in industrial control, communication, and medical devices.
Q: Is 30-Pin the full specification or a reduced version?
A:1.The standard DIN 41612 is 32-Pin (3 × 16). 30-Pin = 1/3 reduced version (Type 1/3C):
2.Only the first 10 rows are used, leaving the last 2 rows empty;
3.the length is approximately 38.7mm. Naming: A+B+C (three rows, 30 pins, right-angle/straight).
Q: Can 30-pin and 32-pin connectors be interlocked?
A: Physically, they can be interlocked, but it's not recommended.
1.30-pin to 32-pin: The last two pins are left floating, prone to wobbling, poor contact, and positioning misalignment.
2.32-pin to 30-pin: The last two pins may press against the housing, bend, or be damaged.
Q: Main Typical Applications?
A: Industrial Control / PLC / Industrial PCs Communication Equipment, Test and Measurement Instruments Medical Electronics, Automotive Control, Security Upgrading and Replacement Maintenance of Older Equipment
