EDGEMATE 172159 Series, Card Edge Connector Housings

Card edge connector housings are specialized connectors specifically designed for use with card edge circuit boards. These housings provide a contactless connection solution, ensuring reliable and efficient electrical connectivity. The housings are available in various configurations to accommodate different system requirements. They come with a wide range of positions, ranging from 2 to 350, allowing for the connection of multiple contacts or pins on the card edge circuit board. This versatility enables the housing to support various applications with different levels of complexity. Additionally, these housings are designed to accommodate card thicknesses ranging from 0.047 inches to 0.093 inches, providing compatibility with different card edge board sizes. This ensures a secure fit and proper alignment between the housing and the card edge board, enhancing the overall reliability of the connection. Pitch dimensions, another important feature of these housings, vary from 0.024 inches (0.60 mm) to 0.312 inches (7.92 mm). The pitch dimension refers to the distance between adjacent contacts or pins on the card edge board. By offering a range of pitch options, the housings can accommodate different card edge board designs and layouts, allowing for flexibility in system integration. Furthermore, card edge connector housings are available in two main mounting versions: free-hanging and panel mount. The free-hanging option provides a flexible connection where the housing is not fixed to a specific location, allowing for easy installation and removal. The panel mount version, on the other hand, allows the housing to be securely mounted on a panel or enclosure, providing stability and support for the connector system. In summary, card edge connector housings are versatile connectors designed for use with card edge circuit boards. With their wide range of positions, compatibility with different card thicknesses, and varied pitch dimensions, these housings offer flexibility in system design and integration. Whether in free-hanging or panel mount versions, they provide reliable contactless connections for a wide range of applications.
