Features and Benefits


Press-fit or compliant-pin terminal design:
Easy board termination using flat-rock tooling

Common or singulated ground:
Optimizes connector for power and slow-speed, single-ended signals in addition to high-speed differential circuits

Low-profile heights: CoPlanar Connector 6.40mm above PCB; CoEdge Connector 3.50mm above and below PCB:
Enhanced air flow and thermal management

Power options:
Leveraging LPH, can achieve 30.0, 40.0 or 50.0A

Cost-effective stitched terminal:
Accommodates various signal and power requirements

Center key available on certain circuit sizes:
Improves PCB alignment during mating by relaxing board tolerances up to 0.80mm pitch

Keying and locking features available
(0.80mm pitch CoEdge Connectors only):
Secures the connector to the PCB and improves board alignment during mating

Overview


The EdgeLine portfolio encompasses a dynamic group of product families that take advantage of the compact and clean interface of plated fingers on the edge of a printed circuit board. These one-piece solutions are cost effective - they are only required when a peripheral interface or upgrade card is populated. EdgeLine connectors have a customizable card-edge interface where designers can specify first-mate, last-break designations as well as shorter stubs for high-speed communications.

The EdgeLine portfolio consists of vertical 12.5, 15 and 25 Gbps edge-card connectors including EdgeLine Signal Power (ESP), Coplanar, CoEdge and CoBridge, all of which deliver low-cost, flexible and scalable solutions for low-to-mid-range telecom, computing and storage applications.
