As RF and high-speed digital systems become more compact and densely integrated, the PCB edge is increasingly used as a critical interface point. Board-edge connectors allow signals to exit the board without large cutouts, tall vertical structures, or complex mechanical hardware, helping designers simplify enclosure design and improve panel density.  Well-designed board-edge interconnects must maintain controlled impedance, low loss, and low reflection while withstanding repeated mating cycles and mechanical stress from cables. They also need to fit into tight keep-out areas around antennas, front-end modules, and high-speed transceivers.

WithWave board-edge solutions are engineered to meet these requirements. By combining optimized RF launch geometries with robust mechanical structures, they deliver stable performance across a wide frequency range and support reliable connections between PCBs, modules, and external systems.
