Card Edge Connectors - Housings
Card Edge Connectors - Housings: Reliable Interconnect Solutions for Secure PCB Connections
Definition & Overview
Card Edge Connectors - Housings are specialized interconnect components designed to securely mate printed circuit boards (PCBs) with corresponding edge connectors. These housings provide mechanical support, alignment, and electrical insulation for card edge contacts, ensuring stable signal transmission in high-density or high-vibration environments. As a critical subcategory of Connectors & Interconnects, they are engineered to meet industry standards for durability, pitch spacing, and current-carrying capacity.
Product Types & Applications
This category includes:
- Standard Card Edge Housings: Precisely molded housings for generic PCB edge connections, available in single/double-row configurations.
- High-Temperature Housings: Engineered with thermoset plastics for industrial or automotive applications.
- Shrouded/Keyed Housings: Features polarization to prevent misalignment in critical systems like servers or medical devices.
- Customizable Housings: Tailored for unique PCB thicknesses or contact layouts.
Common applications span data storage, telecommunications, industrial automation, and consumer electronics, where reliable board-to-board or board-to-cable connections are essential.
Purchasing Recommendations
1. Compatibility First: Verify the housing s pitch (e.g., 2.54mm, 3.96mm) and PCB thickness tolerance to match your card edge design.
2. Material Selection: Opt for UL94 V-0 rated plastics for flame resistance in high-power scenarios; nylon blends offer cost-effective durability.
3. Environmental Fit: For harsh conditions (e.g., moisture, shock), choose IP-rated or metal-reinforced housings.
4. Supplier Expertise: Partner with manufacturers providing CAD models and compliance documentation (RoHS, REACH) to streamline integration.
Investing in quality housings minimizes insertion wear, reduces signal loss, and extends the lifecycle of your interconnect systems. Explore our catalog for industry-trusted solutions tailored to your PCB architecture.
