Pin and Connector Background
Description
This section describes the procedures for the repair/replacement of the
press-fit connector pins used on the backplane of the Metropolis
®
DMXplore shelf. Trouble clearing procedures may lead you to inspect
the backplane for damaged connectors.
Circuit packs are plugged into METRAL™ signal pin connectors
which have been press-fit into the backplane. A plastic shroud is
included with the connectors to protect the pins. The signal pin press-fit
terminals in these connectors my be replaced individually if they have
been damaged beyond simple repair methods.

Shelves and Backplanes
The Metropolis
®
DMXplore has its connectors and terminal identifiers
stenciled on the back surface for identification of location or position.
The stenciling can only be seen when the back cover is removed.
Pins are identified by a column and row position on the backplane. D-
Subminiature connectors are identified by their designation and J-
number. All the METRAL™ pins used on the Metropolis
®
DMXplore
shelves have the same tail length of 4.30mm (0.169 in.).
Table D-1 show the location and type of METRAL™ pins on the
Metropolis
®
DMXplore backplane.
