MEB1-128PH019

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The MEB1-128PH019 is a male card edge connector from the ITT Cannon Micro TCA series, designed for high-reliability applications. It features 128 positions arranged in a single row with a 0.020-inch (0.50 mm) pitch. The component utilizes gold-plated contacts to ensure stable signal transmission and low contact resistance. Constructed with thermoplastic housings, it supports vertical board-to-board mating configurations suitable for dense electronic assemblies requiring robust mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Male gender configuration for mating with female edgecards
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for enhanced conductivity
• Thermoplastic housing material for structural integrity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Micro TCA (Mezzanine Card Architecture) systems
• High-density backplane interconnects
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PH019 against official ITT Cannon documentation to confirm pinout and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with female edgecard thicknesses and mating forces defined in the datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations prior to integration into regulated environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a male connector with 128 positions and 0.50 mm pitch is required for Micro TCA architectures. Evaluate thermal management requirements as plastic housings have specific temperature limits. Consider mechanical retention needs for vertical mounting applications in ruggedized electronics.
