Product Description:

The 02-104806 cardholder is supplied by Vickers as part of the Vickers Accessories series. It is a printed-circuit board edge connector designed to mount a single Eurocard and provide a pluggable interface between modular control electronics and the back-plane in industrial automation equipment. By presenting a standardized mating surface, the connector allows quick replacement of I/O or processing cards while maintaining consistent signal allocation and mechanical alignment inside control cabinets.

Mechanical dimensions and mating style define how this connector fits into a rack. Its overall holder length is 158 mm, leaving full card depth support without overhang. The contact area contains 32 plated signal positions arranged according to the DIN 41612 Type D32 outline, so it aligns with standard VME or IEC 603-2 daughtercards. A center-to-center spacing of 5.08 mm between individual contacts establishes enough creepage for low-voltage control signals while keeping the footprint compact. The mating face is specified as Female, meaning the contacts are recessed and the complementary board plug carries the blades.

Board layout and fastening clearances are addressed by the remaining geometry. Two parallel contact rows—identified as 2—split the signal set into separate logical groups that can be traced on the card without crossover. Mounting screws pass through holes of 4.2 mm diameter, and the center distances of 127 mm × 40 mm match common sub-rack rails, allowing rigid retention under vibration. Each pin tail terminates with Solder Connections, giving designers a reliable through-hole joint that withstands thermal cycling and supports automated wave-solder assembly lines.
