Board-Edge I/O Connector for Dense Signal Routing
The TE Connectivity 2292055-1 is a 50-position receptacle with outer shroud contacts, designed for right-angle surface-mount termination on a 0.024" (0.60mm) pitch. It sits in the high-density I/O connector family, built for parallel-to-PCB signal routing where board-edge space is at a premium.
At 0.024" (0.60mm) pitch, the trace routing between pads is tight — expect to run a single trace between vias on standard PCB fabrication limits. The 0.260" (6.60mm) height above board sets the z-height budget: the mating plug and any cable bend radius must clear the enclosure lid or adjacent card. Compare this to the 1-120532-2, a 1.00mm-pitch plug with center strip contacts at 0.250" (6.35mm) height — the 2292055-1 gives you finer pitch for higher density but requires a tighter board layout discipline.
Shielded Construction and SMT Assembly Aids
The outer shroud contacts and integrated shield provide EMI containment at the board edge — useful when the connector sits near a chassis opening or a noisy power stage. Board guide fingers align the part during pick-and-place, and the solder retention features hold it in place through reflow without secondary hand-soldering.
