Orvem expands its range of connectors with new Ept series: EC.8, Zero8, Colibrì COM Express, Din and One27

EC.8 is the new series of high-speed Ept card edge SMT connectors with a pitch of only 0.8 mm.
The new design results in fewer contact points in comparison with normal male-female connection solutions. As a result, current and data rate properties are positively affected. A clear and fast signal is transmitted at speeds up to 24 Gbps.
Edge connectors stand out in data transfer and signal strength applications. Ept has implemented this technology, introducing features such as: an insertion guide, a coding key, and alignment pins that facilitate connector insertion and prevent incorrect connections.
The number of contacts range from 20 to 200, making the EC.8 a flexible connector for a variety of applications.
Features:
- Card / edge connector
- 20 to 200 contacts
- Data transmission rate: 28 Gbps
- Current loading capacity 3.2 A
- 500 cycles of insertion
- Packaged in Tape & Reel, tray
- Daughterboard thickness 1.60 mm


Also in the range of board connectors, Ept has also launched the new series Zero8, which takes advantage of ScaleX technology.
At the same time it allows good tolerance compensation.
The design of the connector also prevents mating errors.
Finally, the shield design on both sides ensures excellent electromagnetic compatibility, making these connectors ideal for error-free data transmissions at high speeds of up to 16 Gbps.
Some technical features:
- Up to 16 Gbit/s
- 12 to 80 contacts
- Current carrying capacity of 1.7 A
- 500 mating cycles
- Maximum contact reliability
- Optimized protection against faulty connections
- Packaged in tape&reel


The range of connectors Colibrì COM EXPRESS, has been expanded to reach transmission speeds of 16 Gbps in addition to 10 Gbps to meet the market need for stable connections for high-speed transmissions such as USB 3.1 Gen2 and PCI Express 4.0.
The Colibrì connector series has a pitch of only 0.5 mm. Similar to the 10 Gbps version, it is available for board-to-board distances of 5 mm and 8 mm. It is also compatible with the standard version.
To ensure a high-quality signal, ept has optimized the contact design for the entire Colibrì series. All simulation results are available upon request.
Available contacts: 40, 80, 120, 160, 200 and 220, 440 (2x220)
Colibrì connectors are suitable for all applications requiring high transfer rates. In particular, mezzanine card and COM Express systems in areas such as industrial automation, digital kiosks and POS, medical, measurement, consumer and gaming, as well as transportation.
Features:
- Fulfills the requirements of PICMG COM Express® and SFF-SIG CoreExpress®
- Compatible with most common connectors
- For 10+ Gbit/s or 16+ Gbit/s applications
- Robust connector design
- Integrated area for placement
- Packaged in Tape&Reel


DIN connectors continue to be widely used, particularly in industrial applications. For example, the VME bus, which has been on the market for more than 35 years, is based on DIN connectors.
The variety of different types and termination technologies (press-fit, dip-soldering, manual soldering, coiling, crimping, THR) for DIN connectors covers a wide range of applications.
Inoltre, il design robusto e affidabile continua a garantire il futuro dei connettori.
Today, applications using DIN connectors are implemented in signal transmission and higher current transmission-in all areas of industrial electronics, from control technology to motor controls to industrial PCs.
Features:
- Several terminations possible
- Head and tail contacts
- Pre-centering
- Various termination lengths
- Range of accessories, such as coverings, card locks, coding keys available
- Quick lock switch attachment for concatenation
- Card locking system and encodings provide developers and users with additional security and a wide range of possible applications

Connectors for automotive electronics are used for a wide range of applications in automobiles and must meet very specific requirements.
Signal transmission is the basis of all kinds of information exchange. But only the right connection makes it possible to transmit anything.
Embedded systems perform their functions in a multitude of devices that have all kinds of applications. And since the application areas are diverse, so are the connection elements they require.

Ept stands for electronic precision technology representing high quality standards.
Over 40 years of experience in designing and manufacturing press fit connectors for industrial and automotive applications.
ORVEM is the official distributor for Italy.
