What is EDGE BOARD CONNECTOR?
The EDGE BOARD CONNECTOR (also known as “Edge Connector” or “Card Edge Connector”) is an electrical connector that utilizes the conductive copper pads (gold fingers) on the edge of a printed circuit board (PCB) to interface directly with a corresponding socket. No additional pins or soldering are required.
Features and Applications of EDGE BOARD CONNECTOR
-
Simple Structure
Conductive edge contacts on the PCB are inserted directly into the connector slot for electrical connection.
-
High Density
Supports a large number of contacts in limited space. Common configurations include 10-pin, 36-pin, 72-pin, and 120-pin.
-
High Reliability
Typical mating cycles range from several hundred to over a thousand. Gold-plated terminals enhance wear resistance and conductivity.
-
Modular Design
Facilitates quick replacement, maintenance, and upgrades of PCB modules.
-
Various specifications
Common types include vertical and right-angle types.
