DIN 41612
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DIN 41612 was a DIN standard for electrical connectors that are widely used in rack based electrical systems. Standardisation of the connectors is a pre-requisite for open systems, where users expect components from different suppliers to operate together. The most widely known use of DIN 41612 connectors is in the VMEbus and NuBus systems. The standard has withdrawn in favor of international standards IEC 60603-2 and EN 60603-2.

DIN 41612 connectors are used in Pancon,[1] STEbus,[2] Futurebus, VMEbus, Multibus II, NuBus, Acorn Archimedes expansion bus,[3] VXI Bus,[4] eurocard TRAM motherboards,[5] and Europe Card Bus, all of which typically use male DIN 41612 connectors on Eurocards plugged into female DIN 41612 on the backplane in a 19-inch rack chassis.
