High-Temperature Devices are Ideal for Test and Burn-In Applications Where Thicker Daughtercards are Employed

San Marcos, CA-November 20, 2007-
Sullins Electronics, a world leader in the design and manufacture of RoHS-compliant board level interconnect products, today announced the expansion of their edgecard connector portfolio to include a high-temperature, dual-readout series manufactured to accept 0.093″ (2.36 mm) thick daughtercards. These new edgecard connectors join Sullins’ extensive offering of components engineered for high-temperature applications, which includes straight and right angle card extenders. Made of high-density dielectric materials, parts may be ordered to withstand 150 degrees C continual heat. The UL/ cUL Recognized connectors feature high-density 0.050″ (1.27 mm) contact center spacing and easily replace 0.100″ (2.54 mm) center spacing parts to double the number of contacts within the same area. They moreover provide the utmost in design flexibility as they are supplied in straight, card extender, and right angle configurations. Continue reading →

Board-to-Board Connectors Allow Easy Insertion and Robust Connections for 0.062″ Multi-Layer PC Boards

San Marcos, CA-October 15, 2007-
Sullins Electronics, Corp., a global leader in the design and manufacture of 100% RoHS-compliant board level interconnect products, expanded its extensive portfolio of edgecard connectors to include a cantilever edgecard connector series engineered to provide high performance, low cost connections on 0.100″ (2.54 mm) or 0.156″ (3.96 mm) centerline boards. Designed to mate with the plated fingers of a 0.062″ +/- 0.008″ daughterboard, parts may be ordered rated to withstand +125, +150, or +175 degrees C continual heat. These double-row connectors are available with either 0.370″ or 0.400″ wide insulators, and are supplied in right angle, card extender, and straight lead configurations, as well as in a large range of sizes to afford maximum design flexibility and manufacturing efficiencies. Moreover, they boast superior electrical and physical characteristics, and are interchangeable with Sullins’ high-profile devices, without the need to replace motherboards or daughterboards.

New Bi-Level Parts Boast Operating Temperature Rage of -65 Degrees C to +150 Degrees C for Demanding Power Supply Applications

San Marcos, CA-October 8, 2007-
Announced today by Sullins Electronics, a global leader in the design and manufacture of 100% RoHS-compliant board level interconnect products, is the addition of bi-level edgecard connectors featuring staggered, dip solder contacts. The parts are the newest members of Sullins’ expanding offering of bi-level components for high-temperature applications, which includes straight and right angle card extenders. Recognized under the Component Program of UL and C-UL, they feature 0.050″ (1.27 mm) contact center spacing, and are backwards compatible with 0.100″ (2.54 mm) center spacing devices to double the number of contacts within the same space. Their staggered contact configuration notably enhances design flexibility and efficiency, as they can be lined-up on a board for virtually limitless connections. Further, as contacts are dip solderable, “icicles” or ligaments, and other imperfections caused by dripping solder, are eliminated to optimize manufacturing throughput, and speed products’ time-to-market.
