Revolutionary new board-to-board C
lipzin, the patent-pending PCB-mounted edge connector allows simple fi xing of single board modules, such as the Raspberry PiPico, to a host PCB. As a surface mount connector, Clipzin simplifi es manufacture and facilitates easy and rapid connection and disconnection of sub modules, while the retention clip ensures nothing shakes free during use. Clipzin is the ideal solution for the development environment, whilst also providing reliability in mass production applications. The Clipzin connector, fi tted to the host PCB
and hailed as a modern successor to the card-edge connector, mates directly with the PCB by making use of castellated pads along the edges to provide the connection. This simplifi es and reduces the cost of manufacture for the modules, makes the entire assembly slimmer and lower profi le and,
without connector pins protruding, there is no risk these can be damaged. Available in 20, 17 (15 live), 8 and 6-way variations, Clipzin can be used with modules such as the Raspberry PiPico and Arduino Nano Connect, as well as sensor, radio, and a myriad of modules and sub-assemblies for applications across a wide range of industries. EDAC sales director, Chrissy Cooper, said: “The creative minds at OpenLX together with our own engineering and manufacturing expertise has brought to market a simple, yet hugely fl exible solution that can not only accelerate new product design but will revolutionise how production manufacturers can expand the capabilities of their own equipment, allowing effortless customisation for different roles, regions and markets.” The versatility of Clipzin allows customers to quickly modify equipment on the production

line to, for example, conform to local regulations by simply
removing one Clipzin-compatible card and replacing it with another. In addition, with the current pace of electronics innovation, equipment can also be upgraded as new features become available, even in fi eld- installed systems, meaning modules can be reused which will contribute to improved environmental credentials.
Clipzin is available via leading distributors, Farnell and CPC.
