ClipZin SMT Card Edge Connectors
EDAC’s ClipZin is a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted card edge
connector that allows single castellated board modules to be
mounted to the PCB. Featuring a low-profile with surface mountinstallation, the ClipZin will allow rapid connection anddisconnection of the module, while a retention clip ensures that theboard will not un-mate during use. This makes it the ideal solution
for development, while also providing the security required for
production applications.

Features•••••

Available in 6, 8, 17, and 20-way positions
Eliminates the need to solder pin headers and mount single board
modules to the PCB
Enables quick mating and un-mating to single castellated moduleboards allowing for rework on exiting board or to swap out for a
new one to expedite product testing and programming
Retention clips to further secure the boards to the PCB
Reliable and consistent connection between contacts and edge ofboards
