Edge Connectors Specifications

Help with Edge Connectors specifications:

Connector Type

	Connector Type
	Your choices are...
	AdvancedTCA		Advanced telecom computing architecture or AdvancedTCA (ATCA) connectors are used to connect or interface AdvancedTCA devices and boards to systems or motherboards.
	CompactPCI		CompactPCI (cPCI) connectors are used to connect or interface CompactPCI devices and boards to systems or motherboards.
	MicroTCA		MicroTCA is a bus and protocol system that is based on the AdvancedMC mezzanine card standard. MicroTCA allows the AdvancedMC card to be plugged directly into the MicroTCA backplane. This means that the AdvancedMC card can be used without a carrier card. This is not the case for the AdvancedTCA (ATCA) system however, which needs an AdvancedMC carrier card to connect the modules.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized or proprietary connector.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
