Pressfit Card Edge Connectors
EDAC offers a very broad range of press-fit card edge connectors. The Edgefit product utilizes a contact design that allows for ease of assembly into the PCB with the use of simple flat rock tooling. Once installed, this solder-less connection provides superior shock and vibration resistance while also providing significant labor savings.
- 0.100" (2.54mm) to 0.156" (3.96mm) contact spacing.
- Single or dual row up to 150 contacts.
- Press fit compliant section for gas tight connection and solder-less operations.
- Accepts between and in contact polarizing keys.
- Low profile or high profile body available.
- Contact termination options include PC tail or wire wrap.
- Tools available for installation, contact removal, flat rock press to board.
Metal to Metal Card Edge Connectors
The EDAC E-Met family is a two-piece, metal to metal, high reliability connector solution. Utilizing EDAC's Edacon hermaphroditic contacts, the fork-like design incorporates four mating surfaces providing a gas tight connection with high shock and vibration resistance. For board to board, or wire to board applications, they can be used with 0.062" or 0.093" printed circuit boards.
- Edacon hermaphroditic contact mating design.
- High shock and vibration resistance with 10 amp current rating.
- 0.200" (5.08mm) contact spacing X 0.125" (3.18mm) row spacing with staggered grid.
- Plug termination is a PC tail.
- Receptacle terminations include PC tail, wire hole, and wire wrap.
High Temp. Card Edge Connectors
EDAC High Temp card edge connectors utilize high temp insulators ideal for the RoHS infrared soldering process. All of the features of standard cardedge are available in these ruggedized versions. A solid performer over a wide temperature range from -40 C to +125 C.
- 6-88 contacts in single or dual row.
- 5 amps contact rating.
- Wide variety of mounting options.
- Standard PC tail, 90 degree bend or wire wrap contacts.
- Diallyl Phthalate or Polyphenylene Sulfide high temp material.
High Speed Edge Connectors
EDAC PCIE 3.0 and SAS Card Edge Connectors are a high speed board to board interconnect solution. Differential pair signaling provides for low insertion loss in a dense package that conserves valuable board space. Widely used in server backplanes, these fine pitch connectors come in a variety of orientations and terminations to meet all design parameters.
- PCIE 3.0 available in 20 to 200 contacts.
- SAS available 29 or 68 contacts.
- Data transmissions up to 21 Gbps.
- Vertical or right-angle orientations.
- SMT or Press-Fit terminations.
- SAS 3.0 and PCIE 3.0 compliant.
ClipZin SMT Card Edge Connectors
EDAC's Clipzin is a PCB-mounted edge connector that allows single board modules to be fixed to the PCB. Featuring a low-profile, surface mount installation, the Clipzin will allow rapid connection and disconnection of the module, while a retention clip ensures that the board will not unmate during use. This makes it the ideal solution for the development environment, while also providing the security required for production applications.
- Available in 6, 8, 17, and 20-way positions in surface mount.
- Eliminates the need to solder pin headers and mount single board modules to the PCB.
- Enables quick mating and un-mating to single castellated module boards allowing for rework on exiting board or to swap out for a new one to expedite product testing and programming.
- Retention clips to further secure the boards to the PCB.
- Reliable and consistent connection between contacts and edge of boards.
- Up to 500 mating cycles with quick secure latching.
- Built to last in any environment with operating temperatures of -40C to +85C.
Rectangular Connectors
EDAC Rack & Panel connectors offer a high reliability connection, ideal where a large number of wires are interconnected to a panel. Available in seven body sizes ranging from 14 to 120 contact positions. The hermaphroditic contact design provides a gas tight connection with superior shock and vibration resistance. Ease of mating is facilitated with the use of an actuating screw and lock nut.
- Industry standard connector with highly dependable contacts.
- Hermaphroditic contact design for no-fail interconnections.
- Gold over nickel plating for wire hole, PCB, wire-wrap and crimp contacts.
- In sizes of 14 to 120 positions, with actuating screw or locknut and polarizing hardware.
- Plastic and metal covers with cable clamps for strain relief.
- Tools available for contact installation, removal, crimp.
