2344604-1

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity 2344604-1 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for high-current applications. It features a dual-edge configuration with two rows of contacts, providing a total of sixteen positions. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. Constructed with a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing, it offers robust mechanical stability and thermal performance. The unit supports a current rating of 55 amperes and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. It employs a mounting peg style for secure installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging quantities and reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and edge profile. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern. Check for any recent product change notifications that may affect dimensions or materials. Validate that the mounting peg style aligns with the assembly constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge interface is required for high-amperage circuits. Consider the LCP material properties for environments with elevated temperatures. Evaluate the 55-ampere rating against peak load requirements. Ensure the straight mounting orientation fits the spatial constraints of the design. Compare contact plating thickness needs against environmental exposure levels.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the Sliver series of connectors from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The series is known for its reliability in demanding industrial and commercial applications. The 2344604-1 specifically addresses the need for durable, high-current connections in compact form factors. It complements other components in the broader card edge connector family by offering specialized dual-edge functionality.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include parts within the same Sliver series family that share identical pin counts and current ratings. Verify dimensional compatibility before swapping to adjacent models. Cross-reference datasheets for equivalent thermal and electrical specifications. Ensure that any alternative maintains the dual-edge female contact configuration.
