2-530666-3

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2-530666-3 is a low-profile card edge connector designed for dual-edge board applications. It features a 12-position configuration with female contacts arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and supports a maximum contact current of 3A. It is constructed with a black polyester, glass-reinforced insulator and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge design accommodates double-sided circuit boards for increased I/O density
• Low-profile housing reduces overall assembly height requirements
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide durable electrical conductivity
• Thermoplastic insulator offers structural stability and heat resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring compact interface solutions
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge architectures
• Consumer electronics devices with space-constrained internal layouts
• Automotive electronic modules needing reliable signal interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact contact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required PCB mounting orientation and thermal rating for your specific application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection is necessary for high-density signal routing within a restricted vertical space envelope. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified operational range to guarantee proper mechanical retention and consistent electrical performance during mating cycles.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the AMPMODU MOD II series, a widely recognized family of modular connectors known for their versatility in backplane and peripheral applications. The 2-530666-3 specifically addresses the need for robust, low-height interconnects in environments where standard profile connectors would exceed allowable clearance constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include part numbers 7-530666-1 and 357-012-520-201. Verify pin count, pitch dimensions, and mounting style compatibility before implementing any alternative components in existing designs.
