Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact count and row configuration of the MEC2-20-01-L-DV-K-TR?
The MEC2-20-01-L-DV-K-TR features 20 positions arranged in a dual-row (DV) configuration with female rectangular contacts. The body measures 1.709 inches in length and 0.346 inches in depth, accommodating standard card edge PCB thicknesses for reliable electrical connection.
Which PCB mounting method does the MEC2-20-01-L-DV-K-TR use, and how does that affect assembly?
This connector uses the PEG board mounting option, which provides mechanical retention pegs for added stability during soldering and in service. The body breadth is 0.22 inch, and the tape-and-reel (TR) format supports high-speed pick-and-place automated assembly on standard SMT lines.
How does the MEC2-20-01-L-DV-K-TR compare to a single-row MEC2 variant for signal density?
The dual-row (DV) design of the MEC2-20-01-L-DV-K-TR delivers 20 contacts in the same board footprint that a single-row variant would use for 10 contacts, doubling signal density. This makes it preferable for applications needing more than 10 signals, such as 16-bit data buses or combined power-and-signal interfaces, without increasing connector length.
