Board-Edge Signal Interconnect for Shielded Assemblies
It uses center strip contacts arranged in two rows, with the connector body sitting parallel to the board — a layout that suits board-edge placement in enclosures where cable egress runs flat against the panel. The flange feature uses an M2 screw on the board side for additional mechanical retention against the PCB.
What the 40 Positions and Right-Angle Orientation Mean for Your Layout
The 40 positions at a 0.024-inch pitch (the CHAMP.024 namesake) pack a dense signal count into a right-angle footprint. This is the right choice when the enclosure lid sits close to the board or when cables need to route flat along the chassis wall. The board-side M2 flange adds a screw-down point for applications where vibration or repeated mating could work the solder joints.
