2041262-1

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2041262-1 is a surface mount edge connector designed for PCI Express Mini Card applications. It features a dual-row configuration with 52 positions and a 0.80mm (0.031 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in a black liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulator reinforced with glass fiber. It supports a card thickness of 1.00mm (0.039 inch) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The component is RoHS compliant and classified under MSL Level 1.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for PCI Express Mini Card edge connections
• Features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Constructed with high-temperature resistant LCP insulator material

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• PCI Express Mini Card slot interfaces
• Wireless communication modules
• Solid-state drive (SSD) expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct packaging format, such as tape and reel or cut tape, as these affect handling procedures. Confirm that the required contact plating thickness meets the design specifications for intended mating cycles. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if operating in regulated regions. Check moisture sensitivity level requirements for proper storage and reflow soldering profiles during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle surface mount solution is required for Mini PCIe form factors. The 0.80mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while maintaining signal integrity. Consider the thermal stability of the LCP material for environments requiring operation up to 85°C. Verify mechanical retention needs against the board rail design to ensure secure card insertion.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the family of miniaturized edge connectors developed for portable electronics and compact computing devices. It addresses the demand for high-density interconnects in space-constrained designs. The product line emphasizes reliability in mobile applications where vibration resistance and consistent electrical performance are critical for long-term operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include 2041262-2. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substitution. Ensure that any alternative component matches the 0.80mm pitch and 52-position requirement to maintain interface integrity.
