PC/104 and PC/104 Plus Connectors Harwin's PC/104 and PC/104 Plus Connectors suit Embedded PC Applications. Available in Standard & Press-Fit configurations. Harwin supply a 2.54mm pitch PC/104 compatible range of bus connectors for embedded PC applications, designed for stacking boards with a common bus. The devices meet industry standards for embedded PCs, have a maximum 3A current rating, and a press-fit tail option enables solder-free attachment. Configured as 32+32 ways, the connector supports 8 bit systems; while a 20+20 way device combined with the 32 + 32 way offering supports 16 bit systems. With the addition of the 2mm PC/104 Plus connectors, the system becomes PCI Bus compatible. Connectors are available with traditional solder tails carrying a maximum 3A current, or with press-fit tail and a 1A current rating. Components are produced in stackthrough and non-stackthrough versions; the stackthrough option allows many modules to be stacked without the need for multiple connector types. Embedded PC architecture Comments Wendy Jane Preston, Technical & Marketing Engineer, “Over the past decade, the PC architecture has become an accepted platform for far more than desktop applications. PC/104 industry standard connectors can be employed in numerous markets such as Consumer Electronics, Test & Measurement, Industrial Controls, Medical, Computing and Automotive.”
