What are the key features of MEC1-130-02-L-D-RA1-SL?
- 60-position dual-row card edge connector with polarized keying to prevent mis-mating during PCB insertion
- Right-angle (RA1) board mounting orientation enables panel-edge or backplane installations without vertical height penalty
- Solder lock (SL) hardware provides additional mechanical retention and PCB pull strength beyond solder joint alone
- PEG board mounting option and polarized body offer precise alignment and mechanical stability in high-vibration environments
What is MEC1-130-02-L-D-RA1-SL used for?
The MEC1-130-02-L-D-RA1-SL is suited for card edge interconnect applications in industrial computers, embedded single-board computers, and telecommunications equipment where a 60-position polarized right-angle card edge socket provides reliable insertion and mechanical retention. Its solder lock hardware and PEG mounting peg ensure the connector remains firmly attached to the PCB even under mechanical stress or vibration, making it appropriate for ruggedized embedded systems and backplane architectures. The right-angle orientation allows the mating card to be inserted parallel to the PCB, enabling compact chassis designs and front-panel accessible expansion slots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the RA1 designator mean for the MEC1-130-02-L-D-RA1-SL, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The RA1 designator specifies a right-angle board mounting orientation, meaning the mating card inserts parallel to the PCB surface rather than perpendicular to it. This allows for front-panel or edge-accessible expansion slots in compact chassis designs, and means the connector body extends horizontally from the board edge at roughly 0.47 inch depth without adding vertical height to the assembly.
How does the solder lock (SL) feature on the MEC1-130-02-L-D-RA1-SL improve connector retention compared to standard solder-only mounting?
The solder lock (SL) hardware adds mechanical tabs or clinch features that are soldered directly to the PCB, supplementing the solder joints of the 60 signal contacts. This increases the connector's PCB pull strength significantly, typically by 2x to 5x compared to contact-only soldering, which is critical in applications subject to repeated card insertions, vibration, or mechanical shock.
What is the position count and row configuration of the MEC1-130-02-L-D-RA1-SL, and what does polarization add to the design?
The MEC1-130-02-L-D-RA1-SL has 60 positions arranged in dual rows on a card edge connector body. The polarized (D/POLARIZED) design includes a physical key or shroud offset that allows the mating card to be inserted in only one orientation, preventing reversed insertions that could damage the 60-pin interface or connected circuitry.
For what types of PCB card-edge expansion applications is the MEC1-130-02-L-D-RA1-SL most commonly used?
The MEC1-130-02-L-D-RA1-SL is commonly used in industrial embedded computing backplanes, single-board computer expansion slots, ruggedized I/O card edge interfaces, and telecommunications line card bays where a 60-position, dual-row, right-angle polarized card edge socket with solder lock retention provides reliable, mechanically secure connectivity in demanding environments.
