Card Edge Connector
Industrial, IT Datacom
Designed for swappable edge card connections in embedded, industrial, and consumer electronics, this CONSHARE 2.54mm pitch gold finger connector solves common pain points like signal loss, assembly inconsistencies, and premature failure in harsh environments. Unlike generic alternatives, it’s built with iterative design refinements and a layered plating system to deliver consistent performance from production to the field.
Based on feedback from OEM assembly lines and field testing, this model has undergone targeted optimizations—including revised contact material and streamlined housing geometry—to improve mating alignment, reduce misalignment risks during card insertion, and cut assembly defects. This level of practical refinement is rarely found in static, one-size-fits-all generic connectors.
Too many budget connectors cut corners on plating (thin gold that wears fast) or over-engineer it (thick gold that inflates costs). Our multi-layer system strikes the ideal balance:
A nickel underplate blocks copper diffusion to extend plating life
1μ" gold on contact zones ensures low-resistance, oxidation-free signal transfer
Matte tin on solder tails creates strong, long-lasting bonds with PCBs
This targeted design delivers performance where it matters most, without unnecessary cost or reliability tradeoffs.
Many off-the-shelf connectors ignore common PCB manufacturing tolerances, leading to misaligned pins, cold solder joints, and high rework rates. This CONSHARE connector’s recommended footprint is calibrated to accommodate typical variations, ensuring every pin lines up correctly during soldering—even with minor production deviations. The result? Higher yields and lower assembly costs for your production line.

Constructed with UL94V-0 rated grey PBT, the housing maintains structural integrity even under prolonged high temperatures (up to +105°C) and meets strict flammability standards. For high-density or industrial systems where overheating is a risk, this prevents housing warping, melting, or ignition that could damage your entire assembly.
Contacts are made of high-performance copper alloy, selected for excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical durability. Combined with the layered plating, these contacts resist wear from repeated card swaps, ensuring consistent performance over the product’s lifecycle—ideal for modular systems where edge cards may be replaced regularly.
The low-profile, right-angle through-hole design saves critical vertical PCB space, making it perfect for compact systems where board real estate is limited. The 2.54mm (0.1") pitch ensures compatibility with standard PCB layouts, while the dual-row (2x8P) configuration balances signal/power channels and board space efficiency.
This connector is engineered to maintain reliable performance even in challenging operating environments, with testing to validate:
Stable signal/power transfer: Ultra-low contact resistance prevents signal degradation and voltage drop, even under full load
Electrical safety: High dielectric strength and insulation resistance prevent short circuits and leakage, even in high-noise environments
Wide temperature resilience: Performs consistently from -40°C to +105°C, suitable for industrial, automotive, and outdoor applications with extreme thermal swings
Long-term soldering reliability: Matte tin plating on solder tails withstands repeated thermal cycling, preventing joint failure over time
