Winchester Electronics

Winchester Electronics' MetCon-2 line of 2mm Hard Metric connectors is designed to meet the requirements of IEC1076-4-101. MetCon-2 connectors provide a high-density, high-performance, and cost-effective board-to-board interconnect system. Primary applications include telecommunications, computer, storage, test and measurement, and industrial automation industries. MetCon-2 style connectors are also specified in industry-standard open architectures including CompactPCI and VME64x. CompactPCI specifications are controlled and managed by PICMG, a consortium of over 650 member companies that work to maintain and improve CompactPCI specifications.

CPCI Connectors

The Winchester MetCon-2 product line consists of 9 different module styles, available in right-angle sockets and vertical pin headers with press-fit terminations. Each module provides 5 rows of signal contacts and 2 rows of optional ground contacts. Pin headers are available with 12 different contact options - 3 mating lengths on the primary side of the connector, each available in 4 different tail lengths. Pin contact tail lengths include a 3.7mm press-fit tail for "feed-to" applications and 13mm, 14.5mm and 16.0mm extended tails for "rear plug-up" applications. This variety provides design engineers with the versatility to differentiate signal, power, and ground on both mating sides of the headers, which is necessary for "hot-swap" applications.
