What is MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR used for?
The MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR is a high-density 80-position right-angle mini edge card connector used in applications such as solid-state drive (SSD) interfaces, embedded computing expansion cards, and high-speed signal routing backplanes where 0.635 mm pitch card edge connections at 80 pins are required. Its right-angle orientation and peg board mount make it well suited for low-profile system designs where daughter cards or expansion modules must connect horizontally to a motherboard with minimal vertical clearance. The tape and reel packaging supports automated production line assembly of storage or communication modules with high interconnect density.

Frequently Asked Questions
What position count and pitch does the MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR provide, and how does it mount on a PCB?
The MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR provides 80 positions at a 0.635 mm pitch in a right-angle card edge socket configuration. It mounts using peg (PEG) board retention pegs for mechanical alignment and stability, with a 1.125 inch body length accommodating the 80-pin card edge. This right-angle orientation allows horizontal insertion of edge card PCBs parallel to the host board surface.
Why is a right-angle card edge connector like MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR preferred over vertical connectors in low-profile enclosures?
In low-profile enclosures with height constraints below 15 mm to 20 mm, a right-angle connector like the MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR allows daughter cards to lie flat parallel to the motherboard rather than standing vertically. This reduces the assembly height significantly while still providing 80 positions at 0.635 mm pitch, making it suitable for slim industrial gateways, embedded computing modules, and storage expansion boards that must fit within tight mechanical envelopes.
What applications benefit from 80 positions at 0.635 mm pitch as offered by MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR?
Applications requiring high-bandwidth, high-density card edge interfaces benefit from 80 positions at 0.635 mm pitch, including PCIe-style expansion cards, FPGA-based compute modules, NVMe SSD edge interfaces, and high-speed backplane connections in industrial embedded systems. The 80-pin count at 0.635 mm pitch supports simultaneous routing of multiple differential data lanes, power, and control signals within the compact 1.125 inch body length of the MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR socket.
Does the MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR support automated PCB assembly, and what packaging does it come in?
Yes, the MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1-TR is supplied in tape and reel (TR) packaging, which is directly compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place equipment used in medium- to high-volume PCB assembly lines. The tape and reel format ensures accurate component orientation and feeding at 0.635 mm pitch placement accuracy, while the peg board mounting feature provides self-fixturing alignment during reflow soldering for reliable solder joint formation across all 80 positions.
