Card Edge Connector

Card Edge Connector. A connector that mates with printed-wiring leads running to the edge of a printed circuit board on one or both sides.

Features:
Low-cost and high-performance card edge connectors developed for the market
High cost performance connectors manufactured in response to market needs, such as precious metal saving achieved by partial gold plating on the contacts, thoroughgoing analysis of material saving, and improvement and the streamlining of the method of program
Card edge connectors by using the polarizing key prevents mis-insertion in the PCB.
Card edge connectors are developed for ISA bus (AT bus) standard.
Card edge connectors are of straight dip, right angle dip types for PCB mounting.
Using the polarizing key prevents mis-insertion in the PCB
