Abstract:
A hybrid edge connector includes an insulative housing with a slot lined with signal terminals, in a signal portion, and power terminals in a power portion. The power terminals may be made with multiple layers, with each layer formed into one or more fingers. Each finger may be configured to make contact with an edge of a card inserted in the slot such that each terminal has multiple contact points to the card and can carry a large current. To support a large current, the card may be a hybrid card, with a signal portion formed using a conventional PCB manufacturing techniques and a power portion formed with one or more blades mechanically coupled to the signal portion. The slot in the connector housing may have different widths in the signal and power portions and the center lines of those portions may be offset with respect to each other.
