Slot Test Connector
Meritec's 1MM Slot Test Connector was developed to eliminate many of the common problems associated with using a standard connector in a test application. When testing, the PCB is plugged in and out of the connector many times. The wiping action that occurs between the contacts and the board starts to wear down the plating on the contacts and the plastic housing itself.At some point in time the connector becomes a liability and can no longer be considered reliable. The standard connectors being used today for test applications have a life cycle of 250 to 500 (the number of insertion and withdrawals applied to the connector). Meritec's Slot Test Connector has a life cycle greater than 100,000!
