Product Description

System Description:

The DIGI-KLIP® DRP series of dual readout, free-standing

card edge connectors represents a major advancement in packaging technology
for the reliable mating of printed circuit boards. At the heart of the DRP design is
Components Corporation's proven wire form contact principle, a patented contact
system successfully applied in single readout formats since 1962.

Contact Principle:

The premise is simple: to provide long term and reliable

contact in demanding applications, a card edge contact must be a good spring.
The connector must exhibit no reduction in pressure over years of mated service,
and it must provide a "wiping action." The DRP series contact, successor to the
patented single readout DIGI-KLIP, is manufactured from the highest grade
beryllium copper alloy wire which is heat treated for optimum spring temper after
forming. Because of this design and process, the resulting contact provides a
true wiping action point contact with exceptionally high unit force. This allows for
a "gas tight" mating junction, eliminating the need for precious metal plating in
most applications. Consistent contact normal forces are insured, regardless of
time or multiple insertion/withdrawal cycles.

Design Flexibility:

The DRP series is supplied in disposable, molded carrier

strips to facilitate mounting and positioning during soldering operations. Any
combination of contact pairs may be applied in .100", .150" or .156" increments;
row spacing grid is the popular .200" for all types. Contact pair deletions may be
specified without cost premium. The carrier strips are removed after soldering
and discarded or returned for credit and re-use.

Space Savings:

The DRP presents the lowest profile of any card edge

connector system available today. Total slot depth is .260" and module board
"fingers" may be as short as .130". Overall contact pair width is a mere .270" and
.350" with carrier in place.

Cost Savings:

Since the DIGI-KLIP design is made from a wire form, there is

virtually no scrap material reflected in the cost of the contact. The exclusive, "gas
tight" point contact eliminates the need for precious metal plating on the
connector and the circuit board tab. The versatility of the DRP carrier strip
mounting system, with its unlimited combination of contact pairs, allows the
designer the flexibility to apply only the exact number of terminations necessary;
there is no need to specify a "standard" contact configuration which often results
in unused termination positions.

Industry Compatibility:

The DIGI-KLIP DRP series conforms to the popular

.200" row spacing grid. This standardization allows the designer the confidence
to apply the unique advantages of the DRP series without the concern over sole
sourcing, and many existing products may be re-designed to incorporate this
superior contact system with minimal re-tooling.
