Backplane having a jumper plug to connect socket connections to a bus line

摘要

A backplane comprises several socket connectors that are arranged in parallel, side by side on a side that faces the modules. The socket connector has pins which form a pin field that face away from the modules. At least one bus comprises at least one bus line. A bus contact pin of each socket connector of the bus has an associated contact pin. These contact pins are electrically connected to each other with a bus line. Each contact pin can be electrically connected with a jumper plug to its associated bus contact pin. A backplane comprising a bus that extends beyond the modules is thus obtained where modules can be separated from the bus without having to pull the modules from their plug-in locations on a module carrier.
