AdvancedMC plug connector from Harting boasts enhanced contact reliability

July 29, 2010 | Jean-Pierre Joosting | 222903028
AdvancedMC plug connector from Harting boasts enhanced contact reliability Harting has introduced a new version of its AdvancedMC plug connector with the card edge replaced by gold pads for AdvancedMC and MCH modules, resulting in a device with improved contact reliability and reduced manufacturing costs.
Designed to provide a two-piece plug-in connection for AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA applications, the company's AdvancedMC plug connector is mounted onto the basic side of the AdvancedMC module. Mounting is compatible with the use of automatic pick-and-place machines, and soldering can be carried out using the 'pin-in-hole-reflow' process or by wave soldering. An alternative version is available for assembly on the bottom (extended) component side.

The improved AdvancedMC plug supports data transmission rates up to 12.5 Gbit/s. Because the connector, rather than the card edge, now defines the interface, it is now possible to use PCBs with a thickness beyond the previously specified range. The design of the insertion tongue also reduces the insertion force.

The AdvancedMC plug connector helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of AdvancedMC modules since, because the PCB does not have to be equipped with gold pads, users can save on quality control costs and only require a simple hole array.

Harting is offering a special plug-in connector for MCH modules to MTCA.0 that can be used to transmit signals from one PCB via two vertically stacked insertion tongues.

READER OFFER

This month, Xilinx is giving away one such kit, worth 735 Euros, for EETimes Europe's readers to win.

And the winners are...

In our previous reader offer, Cypress was giving away three PsoC3 development boards, worth USD 249 each.

Lucky winners include Mr. M. Casartelli from Italy, Mr J. Pirkin from Belgium and Mr. L. Vagasi from Hungary. All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
