2336568-6

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2336568-6 is a standard card edge connector receptacle assembly. It features a dual-edge configuration with 168 positions and a pitch of 0.024 inches (0.60 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and an LCP housing. Designed for surface mount installation at a right angle, it supports a maximum operating temperature of +85°C and a minimum of -55°C. The unit is rated for 1.1 A current and accommodates a board thickness of 1.5 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) housing material for thermal stability
• Right-angle surface mount design for compact PCB integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic module interconnections
• Industrial control system circuit boards
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronics assemblies requiring robust connectivity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm RoHS compliance status and any recent product change notices. Ensure that the receiving facility has appropriate ESD protection protocols, as the fine-pitch gold contacts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge during handling and storage. Confirm that the PCB fabrication tolerances align with the specified 1.5 mm board thickness requirement to ensure proper mating force and electrical continuity.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count, dual-edge interface is required for right-angle mounting. The 0.60 mm pitch allows for dense packing within constrained spaces. Consider the LCP material properties if the application involves elevated temperatures or exposure to soldering fluxes. Verify that the 1.1 A current rating per contact meets the load requirements of the target circuit design before finalizing the selection.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the standard card edge connector family from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. It serves as a receptacle for mating with corresponding edgeboard connectors. The dual-edge design facilitates bidirectional or high-bandwidth data transfer paths. It is distinct from single-edge variants by offering increased pin density in a similar footprint profile, suitable for complex signal routing applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching the 168-position count, 0.60 mm pitch, dual-edge geometry, and right-angle SMT mounting style. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact plating specifications against potential alternatives to ensure functional compatibility.
