Speedy supply for MIL-C connectors
In2Connect now offers "stock to build" on a 7/10 day basis for many popular MIL-C connector types and styles from Array Connector Corp of the USA.
Press-fit edgecards feature high-density 0.100in spacing on 0.062in daughterboards, and support 0.093in (2.36mm) to 0.125in (3.18mm) thick motherboards.
These robust parts join In2Connect's 100% RoHS-complaint portfolio of edgecards, headers, CompactPCI and bilevel connectors, along with their lineup of parts designed specifically for high-temperature applications.
Providing among the industry's most reliable connections, Sullins' solderless press-fit edgecards are ideal for employment as back-panel connectors as they eliminate the challenges that often arise when thicker, multilayer PCBs with a high copper content are subjected to the high temperatures essential for conventional or wave soldering.
Accordingly, the UL Recognised parts may be confidently specified for the widest range of high-reliability/high-cycle applications in which the circuit connection of a PCB to a high-density daughterboard is required.
Among their uses are such general industrial, commercial and consumer applications as security systems, and computer peripherals.
Provided standard with phosphor bronze, gold-plated (0.8um) contacts to ensure high cycle life, edgecards are available with contacts in configurations ranging from 5/10 to 60/120.
The press-fit connectors further feature black PBT insulators, and a current rating of 3A per contact pair.
Additional specifications include an operating temperature rage of -65 to +125C, and maximum insertion force of 4.4N per contact pair.
Parts may be ordered with or without scoops, and with a choice of tail lengths.
A broad range of mounting styles, plating and keying options, and customisation is also available.
