ZIF PCI Test Connector

Shorts, opens, intermittence, pass, fail, and scrap are words that are all too familiar to test engineers and lab technicians. Usually a PCB board that is being tested is inserted into a connector on a test head prior to running the diagnostics. If the board passes, all is well and good. But what happens when a failure appears? Can it be traced to the board? Or could it be the connector on the test head? How many insertions and withdrawals has that connector experienced? All to often it can be the connector on the test head. Meritec has designed a number of test connectors that can eliminate that uncertainty. How would you like to have a test connector with a life cycle greater than 100,000 insertions and withdrawals? Call us today to discuss your application and requirements.

 
Meritec’s ZIF PCI Test Connector offers the user an accurate and reliable way in which to test their PCI cards. With over 10,000 reliable cycles, it eliminates the need to constantly replace your PCI Connectors. Meritec’s Test Connector assembly plugs directly into the PCI Connector in the test bed and is actuated by a lever for easy loading and unloading of cards. Meritec’s solution eliminates the uncertainty associated with intermitancy between the PC Board and Test Connector during the test cycle. The PCI Test Connector is available as a 32 Bit assembly.
