PCB connectors for boards when two or more need to be connected

Lane Electronics has added an Edgecard PCB connector range to its product line-up. Because manufacture and assembly are on site by the company's sister company Weald Electronics, delivery lead times for these PCB connectors are generally very short. These connectors are 0.1in (2.54mm) pitch, modular edge connectors designed for those applications where two or more PCBs need to be connected and easily removed. The connectors can be supplied with mounting feet, polarising keys, fixed or replaceable contacts and can be cut to any size from four to 170 contacts double-sided. They can be fitted with cantilever or bifurcated contacts, are suitable for vapour phase soldering and offer a choice of three termination styles – discrete wire, straight pc and wire wrap.
