EC.8: Direct connector system with high speed at its core

The edge card connector principle enables data transmission rates of up to 28 Gbps.

Edge card connectors have shorter transfer pathways and fewer cross section changes which enhances the signal. A direct contact reduces the resistance and influence on the signal. This positively affects the current capacity and data transfer properties. A lower resistance defines the edge card connection when compared to a similar connector pair.

Edge card connector versus connector pair

The edge card connector enables direct contacting of the PCB without a corresponding mating connector. In comparison to a conventional connector pair, there are fewer contact points and transitions resulting in a positive effect on current carrying capacity and data transmission properties.
