Frequently Asked Questions
How many contact positions does MEC6-120-02-L-DV provide and how are they arranged on the card edge?
MEC6-120-02-L-DV provides 240 positions in a dual-row female card edge configuration. This high pin count supports dense signal and power routing required in server backplanes, FPGA boards, and data acquisition systems with many parallel channels.
Why is phosphor bronze used as the contact material in MEC6-120-02-L-DV?
Phosphor bronze provides high spring back force and excellent fatigue resistance, which is critical in card edge connectors subject to repeated board insertions. Combined with gold mating contact finish, it ensures low and stable contact resistance across the 240 positions over thousands of mating cycles.
Is MEC6-120-02-L-DV compatible with lead-free assembly processes and RoHS requirements?
Yes. MEC6-120-02-L-DV carries a confirmed Pb-free code and uses tin (Sn) over nickel (Ni) termination finish, compatible with lead-free reflow soldering at standard peak temperatures around 260°C. The part meets RoHS directives for use in EU-market products.
What lead time should procurement plan for when ordering MEC6-120-02-L-DV in volume?
SAMTEC quotes a 3-week factory lead time for MEC6-120-02-L-DV. For production builds requiring 240-position card edge connectors in large quantities, procurement teams should initiate orders at least 4 to 6 weeks before production start to include buffer time.
