AXE8E2026

Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

AXE8E2026 rectangular connectors are designed for high-speed and mid-speed applications in board-to-board connections. AXE8E2026 connectors have two parts: one is a solderless edge connector that connects the two boards to each other, and the other one is a wire assembly that connects signal lines between the two boards.

These connectors feature low-signal-loss performance thanks to their superior signal integrity, low emission, low impedance and transient immunity properties. The self-alignment design of AXE8E2026 connectors ensures that they can make exact-fit connections without the need of additional tools or components. The connectors possess a unique latching system that simplifies the connection and disconnection of the boards. Additionally, the latching system also prevents misconnections and short circuits.

The solderless edge connectors are made from high-quality phosphor bronze and are electroplated with gold for efficient signal transmission. The wire assembly utilizes a copper-wire-wrapped braid, which helps reduce conductor and signal loss. Additionally, the design of the space between the two connectors helps reduce crosstalk.

The AXE8E2026 connectors are ideal for applications that require high-speed and mid-speed data transfer rates, such as communication command and control, automation, high-speed audio, and video applications. They are designed to work with multiple I/O port configurations including USB, Ethernet, and fiber. Additionally, the connectors provide excellent resistance to EMI and RFI interference and are capable of supporting both full-duplex and half-duplex data transmission.

AXE8E2026 connectors are compatible with a wide range of signal integrity protocols including PCI Express (PCIe), USB 3.0, Serial ATA (SATA) and fiber-optic. The connectors also offer excellent levels of resistance to solder bump fatigue and thermo-mechanical stresses. They provide superior heat transfer properties, eliminating the need for auxiliary cooling for the connector.

These connectors have a wide range of applications, including in consumer electronics, medical and healthcare equipment, gaming consoles, drones, cameras, and industrial automation equipment. Additionally, they have been successfully used in aerospace and military equipment to simplify connection points to the board and reduce weight and complexity.

In summary, AXE8E2026 connectors are designed for use in board-to-board applications in high-speed and mid-speed environments. They allow for a wide range of I/O port configurations and offer excellent levels of performance with respect to signal integrity, immunity to EMI and RFI, and heat dissipation.
