MULTI-BEAM CE Card Edge Connector, 74 Positions
The TE Connectivity 2212115-1 is a 74-position female card edge connector from the MULTI-BEAM CE series, designed for dual-readout on 0.062" (1.57mm) thick PCBs. The black, glass-filled thermoplastic housing includes an integrated board guide feature to align the card during insertion and reduce stress on the contacts. The dual-row, 74-position arrangement gives 37 contacts per side of the card edge, which is a dense but standard count for a MULTI-BEAM CE connector.
Right-Angle Mounting and Board Layout
The through hole, right-angle termination places the solder tails perpendicular to the card slot, so the connector body sits flat on the PCB while the card inserts vertically. This is a common footprint for edge connectors in power distribution or backplane interface cards where board height is constrained.
Card Thickness and Compatibility
This connector is specified for 0.062" (1.57mm) nominal card thickness, which is the standard FR4 thickness for most PCBAs.
