Introduction of Card Edge Connector Housings

Components used to secure and protect card edge connectors, which are a type of edge contact connector commonly used for connections between circuit boards and external devices or between circuit boards. Card edge connector housings provide additional mechanical support and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the main function of the card-edge connector housing?

Its main function is to protect the card-edge connector, ensure the stability of the connection and prevent the intrusion of external contaminants.

2. How do I select the right card-edge connector housing?

Selection should take into account the size of the connector, the material, the temperature resistance, and the electrical and mechanical requirements of the particular application.

3. What materials are commonly used to manufacture card edge connector housings?

Common materials include polycarbonate, polyamide, aluminum and other metals. These materials provide the necessary insulation and durability.

4. Will a card-edge connector housing affect signal transmission?

No. Properly designed housings will not interfere with signal transmission, but rather provide additional shielding to minimize electrical interference.

5. How do I properly install a card edge connector housing?

When installing, make sure that the connector is perfectly aligned with the housing and that it is securely fastened using appropriate fixings (e.g. screws, clips, etc.).
