Post by thread:[EE:] Card edge connectors

Hi everyone, (every time I read that I think of doctor Nick Riviera from the Simpson's....very disconcerting :-) I've been looking for some card edge connectors for a while now but cant seem to find just what I need. Basically I need several versions one with a minimum of 21 connectors (prefer 25) and one with a minimum of 50 connectors (prefer 50) I need each connection to carry up to 1 - 1.5 amps. (prefer more) I need them to be reasonably sturdy. (I will be providing mounting brackets for the boards to be inserted by other means) I need them to be as cheap as possible *I don't need a high number of insertion cycles. *I don't want pin and socket connectors I was thinking about something from samtec (http://www.samtec.com) but couldn't find anything that really fit my bill on the website (if I have missed it please feel free to rub my nose in it :-) A second thought was using standard PCI or ISA sockets but thought again when I saw the price ( I'm going to be using 16 or so per board !) Any thoughts or suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated, I starting to go blind looking through google searches ;-) TIA Jonathan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList spam_OUTpiclist-unsubscribe-requestTakeThisOuTmitvma.mit.edu

I have looked at using these following ones in particular from samtec but , alas, too few connectors and I also thought they were a bit fragile? For a little while there I had considered using multiple of these. http://www.samtec.com/technical_specifications/overview.asp?series=PEC Jonathan {Original Message removed}
