2-530666-1

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The 2-530666-1 is a low-profile, dual-sided card edge connector manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. It features 12 positions with a female contact configuration and a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). Designed for through-hole mounting, the connector utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with a thickness of 30.0 µin (0.76 µm). The housing is constructed from black polyester reinforced with glass fiber, supporting PCBs with thicknesses between 0.055 and 0.070 inches (1.40–1.78 mm). It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Glass-fiber reinforced polyester housing provides structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic module interconnections
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status prior to procurement, as documentation indicates non-compliance. Confirm current manufacturing availability and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer. Ensure that the specified PCB thickness falls within the 0.055 to 0.070-inch operational range to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance during installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, dual-sided card edge interface is required for rigid PCB applications. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates standard board layouts while maintaining signal integrity through gold plating. Verify that the operating environment remains within the -55°C to 105°C thermal limits and that the target PCB thickness aligns with the connector's mechanical specifications for secure mating.
