Munich, Germany — The BEC (Board Edge Connector) has received a substantial upgrade; the first con- nector had 230 pins and a pitch of 0.5mm for modules meeting the MXM and Qseven standards devel- oped and tested specifically for auto- motive applications. Now a new con- nector with identical outer dimen- sions has been developed, with the same pin count and pitch, and a nearly identical footprint layout, but with the capability of transmitting data supporting formats like USB3.0, HDMI or PCI Express 2.0. This was made possible by a
basic redesign of the contacts and fur- ther development of the insulating body. The connector also continues to meet the requirements of the automo- tive sector and is therefore also suit- able for other demanding applications. The contacts have the character-
istics needed to ensure stable contact force even when subject to vibrations and shock. The spring characteristic of the contacts also permits tolerance compensation and reliable data trans- mission if modules with dimensions close to the tolerance limits are used. One feature of the high-speed
BEC, just as for its predecessor model, is the side extensions of the insulation body which not only fasten the SMT tabs but also have a thread- ed seam on both sides that offers the option for additional fastening of the module card. The module card can thus be screwed to the connector using screws. The larger SMT tabs are used for the ground connection and for the SMT connection — along with the 230 contacts — to the moth- erboard. The connector is available with different platings, e.g. Gold Flash, 15 and 30finch gold in the con- tact area. It is packaged and deliv-

ered in T&R. Fabrication is nearly entirely automated. The automated, 100 percent inspection ensures con- sistent, stable quality. As a possible option, Yamaichi
Electronics offers a power connector that rounds out the board edge fami- ly. In the case that all 230 contacts of the high-speed BEC are used for sig- nal transmission (230 x 0.5A), the

power connector can supply the power needed. Used on the side of the module opposite the HS-BEC, 10 con- tacts provide 1.5A each. The power connector contacts the module on the bottom of the module. Soldering can be performed
using the SMT process over the 10 pins and two SMT tabs. The connec- tor is available in different platings, such as Gold Flash, 15 and 30µ inch gold in the contact area. It is deliv- ered and packaged in tape-and-reel
format. Contact: Yamaichi Electronics
