High-count mating cycles card edge connector?

autodeskguest

Anyone know a manufacturer of card edge connectors that guarantees a lot of

mating cycles? A typical PCI express x16 connector guarantees only 50

cycles (Tyco 1746220-1)

I want to make a jig for pcb bringup and testing and I want to plug a lot of

pcb's into it.

Maybe there a some specialized pinching connectors out there?

  • if possible, add your own test connector, 50 cycles is pushing it for

    any card edge. you can leave the test connector off the BOM when you

    make alot of them.

     

    the only other alternative I can think of is to make a test jig, I would

    use a flexible "pink link" rubber connector to bridge the gap between

    edge contacts on two boards ( three if edge is double sided w/2

    connections per pin position ). these things are really ZIF and only

    require being compressed evenly to work well. usually used to contact

    LCD panels>.

     

    one manufacturer, there's probably more:
