The ‘Card-Edge’ product name alone describes the function and contact area of the connectors. The contacting of a further board is thus achieved without taking shortcuts at the edge of the board: There is no need for an additional connector, which creates space on the circuit board and reduces the effort required for assembly.

With a pitch of 1.00mm, the design of the 1282 series is ideally suited for space-saving solutions in the fields of telecommunications and industrial technology.

The surface-mountable components offer 10 to 140 contact positions with different codes, with further codes possible on request. Direct contact to another board is made in the slot using contact springs on both sides.

W+P’s board edge connectors can be used up to a board thickness of 1.60 mm (+/- 0.16 mm). The rated current is 1.1 A, in the contact area the connector is gold-plated, in the soldering area a tin-plated surface is available.

The Tape & Reel delivery option facilitates automatic assembly with processing in the SMT production process, with film pad on request. The insulator consists of thermoplastic material in accordance with UL94 V-0. Reliable functionality is guaranteed in a temperature range from -55°C to +105°C, the soldering process takes place in reflow mode.

Free samples can be obtained; data sheets are available for download. W+P offers further Card Edge connector series to be found at this homepage.
