Key Features
- 40 positions on ultra-fine 0.635 mm pitch mini edge card interface
- Vertical (DV) board mount configuration for low-profile card-edge designs
- Gold-over-nickel (AU ON NI) contact finish for reliable mating and low contact resistance
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging with pick-and-place pad for automated SMT assembly
- Locating posts for precise PCB placement and alignment during soldering
- Keyed (K) design prevents incorrect card insertion on 40-position interface
Applications
The MEC6-120-02-S-DV-A-K-TR is designed for mini edge card mating applications in industrial computers, solid-state storage modules, and communications interface cards that require a compact 0.635 mm pitch connection with 40 positions. Its vertical mounting style suits backplane systems and daughter card designs where board height must be minimized. The tape-and-reel packaging and pick-and-place pad make it a strong choice for high-volume automated SMT production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch does the MEC6-120-02-S-DV-A-K-TR use, and why is it called a mini edge card connector?
The MEC6-120-02-S-DV-A-K-TR uses a 0.635 mm pitch, which is significantly finer than standard 1.0 mm or 1.27 mm edge card connectors, making it a mini edge card design suited for high-density 40-position interfaces in space-limited PCB layouts.
How do the locating posts on the MEC6-120-02-S-DV-A-K-TR improve soldering accuracy?
The locating posts mechanically register the connector body to matching PCB holes, preventing the 40-position 0.635 mm pitch connector from shifting during reflow soldering and ensuring all contacts land accurately on their 0.635 mm-spaced pads.
Which applications commonly require a 40-position vertical mini edge card connector at 0.635 mm pitch?
Industrial single-board computers, NVMe-style solid-state storage modules, communications interface daughter cards, and medical instrumentation requiring 40-signal card-edge interfaces at 0.635 mm pitch are typical applications for this vertical mini edge card connector.
What is the typical factory lead time for MEC6-120-02-S-DV-A-K-TR, and how should buyers plan their inventory?
SAMTEC MEC6-120-02-S-DV-A-K-TR has a factory lead time of approximately 3 weeks and 5 days, so procurement teams should target a minimum 5-week safety stock buffer to avoid production gaps, especially when ordering tape-and-reel quantities for automated assembly lines.
