119738-4

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 119738-4 is a standard edge connector from the AMP PACE series. It features an 18-position, dual-row configuration with a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) centerline pitch. Designed for board-to-board applications, this connector utilizes a through-hole mounting style and is constructed with phosphor bronze contacts finished with gold plating. The housing is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing thermal stability and mechanical strength suitable for high-reliability electronic interconnections.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row design accommodating 18 positions for dense board-to-board connectivity
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing offers robust thermal and chemical resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density board-to-board interconnects
