The Amphenol ME10168434A0601 is a 168-position female edge connector from the Mini Cool Edge 0.60mm series, designed for board-edge, straddle-mount applications.
Mating and Termination — Straddle Mount Solders Directly to the Board Edge
Termination is solder-only — no press-fit or crimp option. The connector straddles the PCB edge, with the solder tails on both sides of the board. The mating half is the edge card itself, which must have the corresponding gold-plated pads at 0.60 mm pitch. No separate housing or plug is needed; the card inserts into the dual-row slot and is retained by the contact normal force.
