Molex introduces Edgeline CoEdge connectors

The Edgeline CoEdge is a one-piece, 25Gbps connector that is configured to meet an industry standard pitch of 0.80mm (.031in).

The low-profile, dual-sided, edgecard connector supports 16 PCB thickness variations with multiple circuit sizes for high-speed, industry standard edgecard applications.

Molex said the CoEdge delivers a flexible and scalable solution for low- to mid-range telecom, computing and storage applications.

CoEdge connectors ensure PCBs are aligned at the centreline to allow for a uniform signal path across the length of the connector.

Keying and locking features are provided to secure the connector to the PCB and improve board alignment during mating.

Application tooling is not required, allowing for easy board installation.

In addition to the CoEdge, Molex offers a range of Edgeline products to meet a range of interconnect needs.

The Edgeline one-piece, press-fit, low-cost connectors support high-speed signal transmissions using a card-edge interface via a vertical or right-angle insertion.

The Edgeline Edgecard connectors have the capability to optimally manage slower-speed single-ended and power circuits with a low profile off the PCB to aid in airflow for system cooling.

The Edgeline Signal Power connectors deliver a single-piece solution for high-speed and high-power telecom, computing and storage applications with 30.0A power per blade.
