What is a Card edge connector?

The card edge connector is the edge of the printed circuit board that has a contact point with the socket side so that it can be inserted into the edge connector socket side.
The edge connect socket itself is called a ""slot"", and the card edge connector and slot have a convex and concave relationship. Therefore, the card edge connector should be paired with a matching slot. The structure is a plastic box-shaped object with many pins lined up on one side or both sides, which are pushed into the slot by pressing with a spring.

Application of Card edge connector

In addition, since there is only one slot on the mounting side, it is possible to mount multiple card edge connectors while exchanging them, so the cost is kept low and sharing is an advantage. Due to its high durability, it is often used in household equipment.
