177 results about "Edge connector" patented technology

An edge connector is the portion of a printed circuit board (PCB) consisting of traces leading to the edge of the board that are intended to plug into a matching socket. The edge connector is a money-saving device because it only requires a single discrete female connector (the male connector is formed out of the edge of the PCB), and they also tend to be fairly robust and durable. They are commonly used in computers for expansion slots for peripheral cards, such as PCI, PCI Express, and AGP cards.

Modular peripheral display assembly sustainable power board architecture

An information handling system peripheral display presents visual images with a display panel. A timing controller board has an edge connector that interfaces with a scalar board edge connector when the scalar board couples with slots at posts of the back side. The scalar board couples display cable ports to accept display information from an information handling system and extends the display cable ports out of openings of the midplane. The scalar board communicates visual information to the adjacent timing controller board through the edge connector without the use of a cable. A power board couples with posts and slots adjacent the scalar board to engage a power connector with power pins into a socket of the power board. Power communicates from the power board through the scalar board to the timing controller board and then to a backlight through a pogo pin and contact pad interface.

Card edge connector, edge connector and connector assembly

According to the card edge connector, the edge connector and the connector assembly, an independent conductive terminal of a traditional edge connector is replaced by a double-sided conductive layer structure (the conductive layers are arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the conductor plate), so that two electric signals can be transmitted by the two conductive layers. Under the same volume, the layout of the conductive layers increases the number of signal transmission channels in unit space, realizes higher-density signal transmission, reduces the overall occupied space of the connector assembly, and can adapt to the requirements of compact electronic equipment. Besides, each conductive terminal is independent in function and supports self-defined pin functions, such as a power supply, a signal and a ground wire, so that the customization requirements of diversified application scenes are met, and the product suitability is improved.
