EdgeLock wire connectors offer space savings and positive locking for secure mating to PCB edge cards. Typically the header is soldered to the PCB, which adds space and assembly steps. Extra steps are involved if rework is required. EdgeLock is a solution for direct mating to PCB Edge-Card. At the same time, the latch can be used to release the assembly easily from the PCB. The demand for positive locking is growing, improving PCB retention forces. The connector is made in 2, 4, 6 & 8 single row circuit sizes which can accommodate 1.20mm and 1.60mm PCB Thickness. The housings accept wire ranges 22-24AWG UL 1061 style and 24 AWG UL1007/1569 style.
