The MEC1-120-02-F-D-LC is a 1.00mm pitch mini edge card socket manufactured by Samtec. Belonging to the MEC1 series, this connector features a 40-position dual-row configuration and is designed for vertical surface-mount applications. It supports mating with 1.60mm (0.062-inch) thick circuit cards and provides a reliable interconnection solution for compact electronic systems.
The connector features a female socket design with 20 positions per row and a 1.00mm (0.0394-inch) contact pitch. Its dual-row configuration provides 40 contact positions in a compact footprint, making it suitable for high-density PCB designs and space-constrained electronic applications.
The MEC1-120-02-F-D-LC incorporates a locking clip mechanism to help secure the mating circuit card and improve connection retention during operation. Its vertical mounting configuration allows perpendicular card insertion, providing a practical solution for mini edge-card interconnections.
The contacts are manufactured from beryllium copper (BeCu), offering reliable electrical conductivity and mechanical contact performance. The connector uses a black liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulator and gold-flash/tin contact plating to support reliable electrical connections and corrosion resistance.
The connector supports a current rating of up to 2.2A per pin under the specified condition of two adjacent powered pins. Its maximum voltage rating is 250VAC or 354VDC, making it suitable for various electronic interconnection applications.
The MEC1 series provides a 14Gbps NRZ channel performance metric. Actual signal integrity and data transmission performance depend on the complete channel design, PCB layout, and operating conditions.
The MEC1-120-02-F-D-LC operates across a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, supporting reliable performance in demanding electronic environments. Its surface-mount termination makes it compatible with automated SMT assembly processes.
The Samtec MEC1-120-02-F-D-LC is suitable for embedded computing systems, compact electronic modules, communication equipment, industrial control systems, and other applications requiring reliable mini edge-card connections.
The component is supplied in tube packaging, with a standard quantity of 22 pieces per tube, supporting organized component handling and electronic manufacturing processes.
