The new connector has been designed for video card / graphics applications but will provide the same space saving benefits whatever the board function.
The board space required for the pin-out of this connector (excluding location pins and board locks) measures 2.2mm x 11.37mm. Excluding the board locks the overall width is just under 31mm.
To provide the maximum rigidity in-use, Edac has incorporated two threaded inserts, two board-locks and a pair of locating pins into the design of the connector. Pin 9 on this connector is recessed to allow hot-plugging.
It is a RoHS compliant product suitable for high temperature assembly environments.
