2-531414-4

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2-531414-4 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for board-to-board applications. It features 100 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes a zero insertion force (ZIF) mechanism and employs a rotary cam locking system to secure the inserted circuit board. Contact surfaces are gold-plated over a copper alloy base, providing reliable electrical performance. The housing is constructed from glass-filled polyester and is black in color. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Zero insertion force design minimizes mechanical stress during board insertion
• Rotary cam locking mechanism ensures secure connection retention
• Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and signal integrity
• Dual-edge configuration accommodates double-sided circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic assemblies requiring secure board retention
• Industrial control systems utilizing double-sided PCBs
• Communication equipment interfaces demanding reliable connectivity
• Automotive electronics modules requiring robust mechanical locking

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized TE Connectivity distributors or certified partners. Confirm that the received units match the specific 2-531414-4 designation, as similar Rotary Cam connectors exist with different pin counts. Check manufacturing dates against storage guidelines to ensure optimal contact performance. Ensure handling procedures prevent contamination of the gold-plated contacts prior to installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count dual-edge interface is required. The 100-position count suits complex signal routing needs. The ZIF feature reduces assembly effort compared to friction-lock alternatives. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070-inch range. Consider the operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C for environmental compatibility.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the Rotary Cam series by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. It is specifically engineered for edgeboard applications where high reliability and ease of insertion are critical. The series offers various position counts, with this model providing a 100-position option. It serves as a specialized interconnect solution for demanding industrial and commercial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other TE Connectivity Rotary Cam connectors with identical 100-position dual-edge specifications. Verify mechanical dimensions and locking mechanisms before substitution. Alternative manufacturers may offer compatible ZIF edge connectors, but pin alignment and cam geometry must be confirmed.
