• High-density telecommunications backplanes
• Industrial control modules requiring robust edge connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify part authenticity through authorized ITT Cannon distributors. Confirm that the specific suffix matches project requirements, as variations may exist within the MEB1 series. Ensure compatibility with mating card edge thicknesses and verify environmental ratings against datasheet specifications before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-sided female interface is required for Micro TCA compliant designs. The 128-position count supports high-channel-count applications. Evaluate mechanical retention needs and ensure the 0.50 mm pitch aligns with PCB layout constraints for optimal signal integrity and physical fit.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component is part of ITT Cannon’s Micro TCA connector portfolio, specifically designed for next-generation telecommunications and computing architectures. It falls under the broader category of card edge connectors, offering standardized interfaces for modular hardware expansion in harsh environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with MEB1-128PSP or MEB1-128SBRP-1 for similar Micro TCA form factors. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substitution, as suffix variations indicate different contact configurations or mounting styles.
