Surface mount (SMT) right angle PCIe connectors now join Meritec’s through hole (THR) PCI Express connector product family, providing a comprehensive array of solutions for applications requiring X1 (36 position), X4 (64 positions), X8 (98 positions) and X16 (164 positions) connectors.
Qualified for PCIe 2.0 (and 2.x) Gen 2 applications where low clearance prohibits vertical configurations, these connectors are available immediately in three heights from 5.84mm to 16.88mm. All Meritec PCIe connectors are fully compliant with PCI-SIG specifications, are manufactured in the U.S.A. and are RoHS compliant.
PCIe right angle connectors and PCIe risers enable dense system configurations ...
(4) Meritec Straddle Mount PCI Express connectors are designed to offer additional solutions for co-planar applications between PCBs. This rugged design utilizing Meritec's patented insert molding process ensures reliability with proper pin alignment and accurate contact registration which provides robust support. Designed with a low profile which allows for dense packaging options. These connectors are available in X1, X4, X8 and X16 configurations and all meet the PCI Express 2.0 specification for performance data rates running at 5.0 Gbps.
Meritec offers a variety of PCI connectors designed to fit in tight spaces where vertical PCI connectors cannot go. This family of PCI Connectors is designed to meet all the PCI local bus standards and the footprints are identical to the vertical mount versions for joint compatibility in the PCB design.
Product Notice Meritec products ending with the suffix 2MPF will be obsolete on 01/01/2009. The RoHS replacement part number will end in the suffix 2MMF (Example: 980131-184-2MMF). The 2MMF parts will be backward compatible to the Sn/Pb version ending ...
Meritec introduces a new family of products for riser applications. These one piece riser connectors are designed for sytems where multi-connector/riser card solutions are not desireable. The product is an expansion of the current Right Angle connector family with data transfer rates greater than 5 Gbps. This 1mm pitch SMC card edge connector family has 168 positions and is compatiable with PCIe X16.
Meritec continues to provide unique solutions to customer's problems with the introduction of the Meritec SOCE connector. This small-outline card edge connector has enabled customers to reduce the PCB real estate that was previously required for side to side stackability of card edge connectors. The 3.25mm centerline to centerline spacing, coupled with the .5mm contact pitch of the connector, allows designers greater density in their board layout.
The dual row connector design features the rugged durability and superlative quality that has become a trademark characteristic of Meritec connectors for over 40 years. The Meritec manufacturing process of insert molding the contacts guarantees precise registration between the PCBs and the ...
The Meritec 2X25 Card Edge is designed to be a companion connector used with the 3.3V and 5V 64 bit PCI connectors. Provides a horizontal, 50 position card edge mounting and an extra slot for data expansion from the PCB when designing a unique bus architecture.
Product Notice Meritec products ending with the suffix 2MPF will be obsolete on 01/01/2009. The RoHS replacement part number will end in the suffix 2MMF (Example: 980131-184-2MMF). The 2MMF parts will be backward compatible to the Sn/Pb version ending in the suffix 2MCF. We will ...
(2) For PCI Card Test Applications (Lever Actuated)
Meritec's ZIF PCI Test Connector offers the user an accurate and reliable way in which to test their PCI cards. With over 10,000 reliable cycles, it eliminates the need to constantly replace your PCI Connectors. Meritec's Test Connector assembly plugs directly into the PCI Connector in the test bed and is actuated by a lever for easy loading and unloading of cards. Meritec's solution eliminates the uncertainty associated with intermitancy between the PC Board and Test Connector during the test cycle. The PCI Test Connector is now available in a 32 Bit assembly.
Meritec developed the Right Angle AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Connectors to compliment the Meritec product family of Card Edge/Mezzanine Connectors. The AGP interface has been designed specifically for dedicated use in high performance graphic controllers. The Right Angle AGP Connector allows you to add an AGP card to your system without adding all of the extra height. The connector is available in .400'' and .650'' stack heights, and both .100'' and .125'' solder tails.

(4) Meritec provides an alternative concept in board-to-board interconnects - Hermaphroditic Connectors. Each mating half is identical in configuration, eliminating the need for separate male and female parts. The Hermaphroditic Connector is a high density 0.050" pitch board to board connector. The connector has a dual wipe contact design with 100 grams of normal force that was developed for use in the severe environment of the process control industry. Shallow entry angles on the contacts ensure a smooth insertion force profile to make the connector an excellent candidate for high mating cycle applications. The connectors are available in both 50 and 100 positions in both through hole and surface mount configurations.
(2) Meritec’s 52 position Card Edge Connector was designed for a unique application. The application required a connector that would allow the daughter card to be inserted from the top of the connector or from the side of the connector. The side angle entry requires a custom lead in feature on the daughter card. Typically only 50 contacts are used in this latter application. The end contacts on each row are usually not configured into the overall design of the PCB when side insertion of the PCB is required. This dual row card edge connector is available in both surface mount and thru hole mount.
