2359366-5

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2359366-5 is a Mini Cool Edge I/O (MCIO) cable plug assembly designed for internal I/O applications. It features a 74-position configuration with dual-edge gold contacts and a 0.024-inch (0.60mm) pitch. The connector utilizes a vertical, surface-mount termination method suitable for cable-to-board connections. The housing is black, and the contacts are female type.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge gold contact configuration for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical surface-mount design for efficient board space utilization
• Integrated cable plug assembly structure

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Internal I/O interconnects in computing systems
• High-speed data transfer applications requiring MCIO standards
• Server and storage subsystem cabling

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and packaging quantity against the manufacturer's latest documentation before procurement. Confirm that the vertical orientation and surface-mount requirements align with the target PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with the mating receptacle specifications to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance in the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, low-profile vertical connection is required for internal system interconnects. The dual-edge gold plating offers superior conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to standard tin finishes. Consider the surface-mount footprint constraints and verify that the vertical profile fits within the designated chassis or enclosure height limitations.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the Mini Cool Edge I/O (MCIO) family, which provides high-speed serial connectivity solutions. It is distinct from other TE connectors like the IDC headers or AMPSEAL housings found in general catalogs. The MCIO series is specifically engineered for demanding internal environments where space efficiency and signal integrity are critical priorities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify if the variant 1-2359366-5 serves as a direct equivalent based on specific orientation requirements, though official substitution confirmation requires manufacturer validation.
