San Marcos, CA-October 25, 2004-
Sullins Electronics, a world leader in the design and manufacture of connectors and interconnect systems, today released their newest bi-level series of right-angle edgecard connectors. Specifically engineered for heavy-duty applications, the series provides double the contact points in half the space while withstanding continual 150o C temperature. Joining Sullins’ extensive offering of edgecards, headers, 2 mm Hard Metric (HM), and CompactPCITM connectors, these new patented (U. S. Patent No. US 6,790,054 B1) connectors are made of a high-density dielectric material enabling them to boast a -65o C to +150o C operating temperature range. They notably feature both primary and secondary engagement contact areas, with the secondary area recessed in the card slot. Moreover, their 0.078″ (1.98 mm) contact centerline spacing results in four rows at 0.156″ (3.96 mm) spacing. Connectors in this new series are optionally available in versions complying with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive.
Promoting horizontal board-to-board mounting, these right-angle edgecard connectors are the singular solution to high pin count, high temperature applications where space conservation is critical. Devices therefore are ideally suited for employment in environmental and burn-in testing of semiconductors, along with a wide array of industrial, consumer, and commercial usage. Among the areas of demand for the heavy-duty series are on boards used in communication, medical equipment and instrumentation, and automotive R&D.
The UL/CUL Approved series offers superior design flexibility as it is backwards compatible with legacy lower-density boards, and forward compatible with boards now utilized in high-density test environments. Components accommodate PCB thickness of 0.062″, and are available with from 4 to 90 contact positions. Boasting selective gold plating, they are provided standard with beryllium copper contacts to insure contact integrity and reliability. Additional features include an insulation resistance of 5,000 Megohms minimum at 125 VDC, and a current rating of 3A. Devices are engineered for conventional reflow soldering to optimize manufacturers’ throughput and speed products’ time-to-market. Optional keying, and customization is accommodated.
Delivery is 3-4 weeks ARO.
