Card edge connectors aid PCI Express addons
Specifically designed to implement PCI Express high-speed technology for desktop PCs and server systems, 6325 PCI Express card edge connectors enable easy upgrades via an "addon graphics card".
Before assembly, the part is surface mounted to the PCB.
Using the hand tool, 26 or 28 AWG solid/stranded wires are inserted into the contact slot.
This process cuts the insulation and enables the individual conductors of the wire to form a homogeneous joint.
The shape of the moulding forms a restraint to the wire when fully inserted in the contact.
Contact material is phosphor bronze, with five reterminations achievable for each individual contact.
Parts offer a current rating of 1A continuous through all contacts at 25C (ambient), with a voltage rating of 125V, delivering a minimum insulation resistance of 100Mohm, and a maximum termination resistance of 20mohm.
Devices operate between -40 and +80C.
Due to ease and speed of assembly to the small volume intricate/flexible connections of high value devices, 9175 connectors can be used for connecting two or three wires between PCBs, in high volume consumer market applications, for example speakers, buzzers, microphones, vibration mechanisms.
These connectors are supplied in tape and reel packing and are RoHS-compliant. Request a free brochure from Elco Europe ...
