Abstract
A coding mechanism for assemblies pluggable onto a backplane wiring is provided. The backplane wiring is composed of a wiring backplane having contact blades introduced thereinto, and of blade connectors pluggable thereonto and designed as a rectangular housing open at one side for the acceptance of spring clips which are rigidly connected to electrical assemblies. Both the blade connectors as well as the spring clips are composed of individual sub-strips whose lengths correspond to single or multiples of the length of a given sub-segment. Sub-strips of both the blade connector as well as of the spring clip having the length of a sub-segment are partially designed as corresponding coding units in combination with special contacts, and can be attached at arbitrary locations of the strips.
