SMT Low-Profile Printed Circuit Board Edge Connectors

Quickly and easily set-up, these space-saving SMT connectors from Keystone Electronics have a horizontal orientation making them uniquely suitable as parallel board-to-board or board-to-component alternative options for power or signal transferring. These connectors are designed to provide ideal low-profile circuit linkage and minimal footprint for high-density, high current PCB packages on power and aluminum backplanes. All PCB soldering applications, including reflow, may be utilized. Manufactured from phosphor bronze with gold plating, connectors are available in a male pin [part number 6100 (bulk) or 6100TR (tape and reel)] and a female socket [part number 6102 (bulk) or 6102TR (tape and reel)]. The female sockets are equipped with side guides for additional reinforcement to minimize PCB movement when installed. All tape and reel parts are packaged per ANSI/EIA-481 standard for compatibility with most vacuum and mechanical pick and place assembly systems.
