571Inject / eject mechanisms provide hardware necessary for the insertion and extraction of PC boards, modules and faceplates. In addition, they provide microswitch activation for hot swap. The PICMG® (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturer´s Group) organization has developed several standards for commercialoff-the-shelf solutions including, ATCA®, AdvancedMC®, µTCA®and CompactPCI® to regulate the format and interconnection of telecommunication server equipment.Southco offers many inject / eject mechanisms that are PICMG®-compliant.Our technical design team has also developed custom solutions for many of the top global OEM's. If one of these standard solutions does not meet your needs, a custom solution can.Inject / Eject device designs are largely driven by customer needs in the following areas: Hot swap capability Greater pin tension More weight on PC board Ever-increasing demands for smaller profiles and less protrusion on boards and faceplates Higher pin density interconnects Higher insertion / extraction forces Secondary locking devices Proper grounding and alignmentIndustry Standard EjectorsPages 574-587P7CN CN CN P7P7 P7 P7Inject / Eject SolutionsPages 588-589INJECT / EJECT MECHANISMSP7PICMG, ATCA, AdvancedMC, µTCA and CompactPCI are registered trademarks of PICMG® - PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group, Inc.
