element14 introduces the new innovative Clipzin\u2122 Connector range as the exclusive distributor. Manufactured by EDAC and designed by OpenLX SP Ltd, the Clipzin\u2122 range initially targets the Raspberry Pi\u00ae Pico and PicoW, and Arduino\u00ae Connect modules, with more options to follow.<\/p>\n
Described as the edge connector for the IoT generation, Clipzin\u2122 eases manufacturing and facilitates modularisation, encouraging sustainability by promoting easy inservice upgrades and reusability. It allows customers to produce one design that can be customised for flexibility, and to offer variants, reducing design time and the need to stock many versions.<\/p>\n
Clipzin\u2122 enables rapid connection and disconnection of sensor, communication and compute modules, such as Raspberry Pi\u2019s new Pico. Designed for prototyping to production, a retention clip ensures that modules will not shake free after assembly or inservice, but allows PCBs to be easily swapped later if required. This makes it the ideal solution for developers, while also providing the security required for production.<\/p>\n
Prior to Clipzin\u2122, modules like PicoW required users to solder through-hole connectors to the PicoW as well as fitting a connector to their PCB. Clipzin\u2122 requires only a surface mount connector to be fitted to one PCB, greatly improving production efficiency.<\/p>\n

Key benefits of the EDAC Clipzin\u2122 PCB connectors include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Romain Soreau, Head of Single Board Computing at element14, says, \u201cClipzin\u2122 is a genuinely innovative connector for the Raspberry PI Pico. It provides a new, solderless way of mounting the Raspberry Pi Pico to another PCB, which allows interchange between Pico models. We are pleased to be the exclusive distributor of this new product, which further supports our long-term commitment to Raspberry Pi and our extensive portfolio of their products and accessories.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Chrissy Cooper, Sales Director at EDAC Europe, says, \u201cWe have worked closely with element14 for many years and have forged a strong working partnership. This initial exclusivity period for the launch of Clipzin\u2122 is yet another demonstration of our mutual commitment to the success of our customers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Dr Andrew Robinson, Engineering Director at OpenLX SP Ltd. added, “With PiFace\u2122 and CodeBug\u2122, we have a strong history of bringing innovative products to market with element14. Combined with EDAC’s years of experience it’s a fantastic partnership to develop a new connector that makes it easier for people to use and reuse the growing range of modules such as Raspberry Pi\u00ae PicoW. Clipzin\u2122 unlocks the efficiencies of surface mount manufacturing, over the cost and complexity of through hole assembly of existing header-pin solutions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n The new Clipzin\u2122 PCB Connectors from EDAC, OpenLX SP Ltd. are now available from stock at\u00a0Farnell<\/a>\u00a0in EMEA, and\u00a0element14<\/a>\u00a0in APAC.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column el_class=”bg_wt_rc”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More information on Avnet:<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/www.avnet.com\/wps\/portal\/emea\/<\/a>\u00a0+ Delivering what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n Avnet (AVT) is a FORTUNE 500 company that creates value for our stockholders by helping more than 2.1 million customers and 1,400+ suppliers in 125 countries around the world navigate each phase of the product innovation and technology lifecycle.
