The 27th edition of the ept connector catalog is now available—we can send it directly to you upon request.
Back to the product overview.
All heights and pin counts of the straight One27 connectors are available with a lead time of 2–4 weeks.
Do you require reliable PCB connections with a 1.27 mm pitch on short notice? The straight One27® SMT PCB connectors from ept are now available with a lead time of two to four weeks. With a pitch of just 1.27 mm, they allow you to connect PCB mezzanines. Are you already sourcing SMT connectors with a 1.27 mm pitch from another manufacturer and need straight male or female headers to complement them? The One27® connectors are proven to be compatible with existing 1.27 mm pitch SMT connectors from other manufacturers.
ept’s Colibri HighSpeed connectors—which will soon be available in an even wider
range of 0.5 mm-pitch Colibri PCB connectors—have already proven themselves time and again in COM Express and high-speed applications up to 10 Gbit/s. ept is now working on expanding the connector family to include an additional high-speed variant. This variant will be suitable for data transfer rates of up to 16 Gbit/s and higher.
Colibri SMT connectors are now also available
with a thicker gold plating. Colibri PCB connectors with a 0.5 mm pitch from ept have already proven themselves time and again in COM Express and high-speed applications up to 10 Gbit/s. In response to popular demand, these high-speed connectors are now also available in a "Heavy Au" version for use in harsh environments.
In electronics design, parallel PCB connections often need to be adaptable to a wide variety of space requirements. With ept’s One27® SMT PCB connectors featuring a 1.27 mm pitch, the distance between two stacked PCBs can be adjusted within a total range of 5.8 mm.
