Medi | Slice® Card Edge Connector: AMS15-36 Product Highlights

Edge Card Connector System:

By integrating card edge connector technology into Medi | Slice®, limited-use applications can be designed with internal fail-safes to prevent usage outside the intended lifespan.

Pull-band Latching:

The pull-band latch connection system provides assurance that the connector is mated properly via an audible click. The mating force is also accessible for most people at just 8.5 lbs. with a corresponding unmating force of 4 lbs. The latch system protects against accidental unmating of up to 20 lbs.

Up to 36 Contacts:

These rectangular connectors offer a high-count contact system using 36 card edge pins in a small 1.8” x 1.5” package — all inside a robust plastic housing.

Touch Proof Contacts:
