/24-7PressRelease/ - SAN MARCOS, CA, July 19, 2008 - Sullins Connector Solutions, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of RoHS-compliant board level interconnect products, today announced the availability of a comprehensive series of male edgecard connectors designed to simulate 0.062¨ (1.58 mm) thick daughtercards. The parts provide engineers and assembliers with a durable 0.100¨ (2.54 mm) or 0.156¨ (3.96) spacing interconnect system when mated with a Sullins or comparable female edgecard. The double-row connectors notably feature phosphor bronze gold-plated contact fingers that can eliminate the need for gold plated fingers on the daughtercard. Supplied in dip solder, straight, or right angle for through hole, and card-extender for straddle mount terminations, they facilitate optimal design flexibility while ensuring robust and reliable connections in high-temperature applications. Materials are UL94V-0 rated. Parts are available with a choice of PBT or Nylon 9T insulators. The series features an operating temperature range of -65 degrees C to +150 degrees C, and a processing temperature of 260 degrees C peak.
The male edgecard connectors are ideally suited for employment in an array of high-temperature, high-cycle life applications in which the circuit connection of PCBs or wire harnesses to 0.062¨ daughtercards are required. They are most commonly specified for use in test and burn-in ovens, along with communication systems, process control, medical equipment, instrumentation, and automotive R&D. Devices can also be configured as a test cable for a PCB in the absence of a daughtercard.
Connectors with 0.100¨ centerlines are offered with from 4 to 60 contact positions, while 0.156¨ centerline devices may be ordered with from 4 to 40 contact positions. The parts' phosphor bronze contacts are provided standard with 10 micro¨ or 30 micro¨ overall gold over 50 micro¨ nickel. Tail options include 100 micro¨ pure tin or 5 micro¨ gold. Additional specifications include a current rating of 3 Amps per contact, and an insulation resistance of 5,000 Megaohms minimum at 125 VDC. They may be ordered with tail (contact) lengths ranging from 0.100¨ (2.54mm) to 0.560" (14.22mm), and with or without mounting ears. For complete specifications regarding operating, processing, temperature and material options for Sullinsˇ¦ male-to-female edgecard connectors, contact techsupport@sullinscorp.com.
While firm pricing is determined according to customers' specifications, average male edgecard connector prices range from $0.086 to $0.147 per contact in quantities of 1,000. Delivery is 1 to 2 weeks ARO. Samples are available.
