Plug improves reliability of card edge connections

Plug improves reliability of card edge connections

The HARTING AdvancedMC plug has been developed to further enhance the contact reliability of the connection of AdvancedMC modules and MicroTCA backplanes. The new connector replaces the card edge and associated gold contact pads of the AdvancedMC module, which can suffer from variable surface quality and unstable tolerances and are expensive to produce. The AdvancedMC Plug, on the other hand, is manufactured using a tightly specified process and offers the highest degree of contact reliability and protection against wear and corrosion.
