2072630236

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The Molex 2072630236 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for high-speed data transmission. It features a 0.60mm pitch and supports up to 32 Gbps bandwidth. The connector accommodates PCB thicknesses of 1.57mm (0.062 inches) and includes 140 positions arranged in two rows of 28 contacts per bay. It utilizes gold-plated copper contacts and employs a straddle-mount configuration with a metal key for precise alignment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed signal integrity with 32 Gbps capability
• Straddle-mount design ensures secure mechanical engagement
• Gold contact finish provides reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-performance computing backplanes
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control systems requiring robust connectivity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct packaging and contact finish specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness matches the connector's rated tolerance of 1.57mm prior to procurement to avoid mechanical fitment issues.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge interface with 0.60mm pitch is required for high-density applications. Ensure the host board design supports straddle-mounting and accounts for the 140-position footprint. Validate that the application environment does not exceed the thermal or current ratings defined in the official datasheet.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to Molex’s Sliver Edge Card Connector series, engineered for demanding electronic environments. It is distinct from single-edge variants by offering dual-sided contact access, which doubles the circuit density within the same profile height compared to standard single-row connectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Cross-referencing requires matching the 0.60mm pitch, 140-position count, and straddle-mount geometry exactly.
