Key Features
- 1.00 mm pitch mini edge card socket enables high-density card-to-board connections in compact designs
- Right-angle (RA) orientation allows horizontal card insertion for low-profile PCB assembly
- Gold-contact finish ensures low contact resistance and long mating life exceeding 1,000 cycles
Applications
The MEC1-108-02-S-D-RA1-SL is used in miniaturized embedded computing modules, IoT edge devices, and wearable electronics where space-efficient card edge connections at 1.00 mm pitch are essential. Its polarized right-angle socket prevents reversed card insertion and simplifies field replacement of daughter cards. The gold contact finish supports reliable signal integrity in data acquisition and communication modules operating at low voltages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact configuration does MEC1-108-02-S-D-RA1-SL use for card edge connections?
The MEC1-108-02-S-D-RA1-SL uses a 1.00 mm pitch dual-row card edge socket with 16 contacts total and gold contact finish. The right-angle body measures 0.494 inch in length and accommodates standard mini edge cards in compact embedded module applications.
How does the right-angle orientation of MEC1-108-02-S-D-RA1-SL benefit PCB space constraints?
The right-angle (RA) design allows daughter cards to lie parallel to the main PCB rather than standing vertically, reducing overall assembly height by several millimeters. This is critical in IoT devices and handheld instruments where vertical clearance is limited to under 10 mm.
Is MEC1-108-02-S-D-RA1-SL RoHS and lead-free compliant for global procurement?
Yes, the MEC1-108-02-S-D-RA1-SL carries Pb-free (RoHS) compliance, making it suitable for global product distribution. The gold contact finish and lead-free construction support REACH and EU RoHS directives, enabling procurement for European, North American, and Asian markets.
What is the typical lead time and how does the polarization feature reduce assembly errors on MEC1-108-02-S-D-RA1-SL?
The factory lead time is approximately 3 weeks for MEC1-108-02-S-D-RA1-SL. The polarized socket geometry physically prevents reversed card insertion, eliminating assembly errors in automated SMT lines and reducing rework costs on high-volume 1.00 mm pitch card-edge boards.
