2-166949-2

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2-166949-2 is a dual-loaded, low-profile standard card edge connector. It features 44 positions designed for female contact termination. The component is classified as an edgeboard connector intended for vertical board-to-board or backplane interconnection applications requiring high-density signal routing.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-loaded configuration supports simultaneous connection on both sides of the circuit board
• Low-profile design accommodates space-constrained electronic assemblies
• Standard card edge interface ensures compatibility with conventional PCB edge geometries

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density backplane interconnect systems
• Vertical board-to-board signal routing in compact enclosures
• Industrial control modules requiring dual-sided connectivity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify current manufacturing status as this product is listed as no longer manufactured by the supplier. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary market channels. Ensure that any sourced units match the original datasheet specifications regarding pin count and profile height to maintain system integrity.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component only if the application specifically requires a dual-loaded, low-profile card edge interface with 44 positions. Evaluate mechanical constraints carefully due to the discontinued status. Consider alternative active series from the manufacturer if long-term supply stability is a critical requirement for the project lifecycle.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the standard card edge connector category within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors portfolio. It is designed for reliable electrical performance in demanding environments. The dual-loaded architecture distinguishes it from single-sided variants, offering increased I/O density within a limited footprint.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. As the item is marked as no longer manufactured, engineers must identify functional equivalents based on specific mechanical and electrical requirements rather than direct cross-references.
