FOD DIN 41612 (IEC 60603-2 connector) connector is a standard electrical connector primarily used for rack based systems. The need for a standardized system of connectors is essential in the use of open systems, Users need to have confidence that components from different suppliers will operate together. The performance of the connectors rates at 2amps per pin current carrying capacity and 500v working voltage. Both figures may need to be de-rated according to safety requirements or environmental conditions.
