Special contact material
Unlike conventional mating systems with male and female connectors, the AdvancedMC™ has only one, not two, contact tongues per contact. In order to ensure a permanently reliable contact, this single contact tongue must press against the gold pad with sufficient force throughout the entire lifetime. In addition, the thickness of the AdvancedMC™ modules may fluctuate by ±10%. To meet this challenge, HARTING and ept utilize a special alloy with very low relaxation as the contact material for the con:card+ connector.
