What is a Card edge connector?

A Card Edge Connector is a type of connector used to connect a printed circuit board (PCB) to a card-shaped module. The connector's contact points are located along the edge of the card, which plugs into corresponding terminals on the motherboard or PCB. This type of connector is commonly found in expansion cards, memory cards, and communication cards.

Features
✅Edge Connection: The connector's contact pins are placed on the edge of the card and connect to the matching terminals on the PCB.
✅Shape: The card-shaped module (e.g., PCI cards, DIMM memory) is inserted into the connector.
✅High Pin Count: Typically, these connectors handle high-speed signals or a large number of data lines, requiring many pins.
✅Robust Connection: Designed for durability and to prevent poor contact when inserting.

Application of Card edge connector

✅Computer Expansion Cards
PCI cards, ISA cards, etc., used for expanding computer functionality.
✅Memory Cards
Modules like DDR memory use card edge connectors to connect to the motherboard.
✅Communication Cards
Network cards or interface cards that provide connectivity.
