What are the key features of MEC8-130-02-L-D-RA1-TR?
- Dual-row 60-position card edge socket at 0.8 mm pitch enables high-density PCIe and high-speed signal interconnects in a compact right-angle SMT footprint
- Gold contact finish on mating surfaces ensures reliable low-resistance connections rated at 15 mΩ maximum for signal integrity in high-frequency applications
- Phosphor bronze contacts provide excellent spring resilience and consistent contact force over 500+ card insertion cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated pick-and-place SMT assembly in high-volume production environments
What is MEC8-130-02-L-D-RA1-TR used for?
The MEC8-130-02-L-D-RA1-TR is used in high-speed data storage, networking, and computing applications requiring reliable card edge interconnects at 0.8 mm pitch, such as PCIe expansion slots, SSD form-factor boards, and industrial controller modules. The right-angle configuration allows daughter cards to mount parallel to the motherboard, optimizing chassis height in 1U and 2U rack-mount systems. Gold-plated contacts and low contact resistance make it suitable for differential signal pairs and high-frequency protocols up to several GHz.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact resistance does the MEC8-130-02-L-D-RA1-TR specify, and why does it matter for high-speed signals?
The MEC8-130-02-L-D-RA1-TR specifies a maximum contact resistance of 15 mΩ per contact. This low resistance value minimizes resistive voltage drop and signal loss at high-frequency data rates, making the connector suitable for GHz-class protocols such as PCIe Gen 3/4, USB 3.x, and high-speed DDR memory interfaces where signal integrity is critical.
How does the 0.8 mm pitch of MEC8-130-02-L-D-RA1-TR enable compact card edge designs?
The 0.8 mm pitch provides 25% higher contact density compared to 1.0 mm pitch card edge connectors, fitting 60 positions in the footprint that a 1.0 mm pitch design would require for only 48 contacts. This compact arrangement is essential for M.2, PCIe mini card, and other space-constrained form factors where board real estate is limited.
What material is used for the MEC8-130-02-L-D-RA1-TR contacts, and how does it benefit long-term reliability?
Contacts are made from phosphor bronze with gold plating on mating surfaces and tin-over-nickel on solder terminations. Phosphor bronze provides high spring constant and consistent contact normal force, maintaining reliable electrical connection over 500+ insertion cycles in the operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
Which assembly process is recommended for MEC8-130-02-L-D-RA1-TR, and does the tape-and-reel format support it?
The right-angle SMT card edge connector is designed for standard reflow soldering processes with a peak temperature of 260°C per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Tape-and-reel packaging at the standard 8 mm pitch allows automated pick-and-place placement on high-speed SMT lines, supporting throughput rates exceeding 10,000 placements per hour in volume production.
