The
DIGI-KLIP® SMP/SMA Series, micro-miniature free-standing card edge interconnect
system provides the lowest profile and highest density available for the card
edge interconnect of two printed circuit boards.
The unique wireform contacts are manufactured from annealed beryllium copper
alloy and heat treated after forming for spring temper. The proprietary concept
produces free-standing card edge contacts which exhibit superior stress relaxation
characteristics, a “wiping action” “gas tight” junction
and low contact resistance.
Whether the SMP series (for .031" mating board) or the SMA Series (for
.062" mating board) is selected, significant space savings may be achieved.
Both contact styles have an above board height of .120" and require mounting
holes of only .120" centers.
Choice of adjacent contact spacing is .050" for the SMP050 or SMA050 and
.100" for the SMP100 and SMA100 Series. Any combination of single row contacts
may be provided from 4 through 50 (SMP050/SMA050) or 4 through 25 (SMP100/SMA100),
on convenient, disposable carrier strips.
Although designed for single row application, the contact geometry of the SMP/SMA
Series provides dual path potential for further contact integrity.
