ACM18DTMT

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The ACM18DTMT is a dual-row female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 36 positions arranged in two rows of 18 contacts with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes beryllium copper contacts with gold plating and a bellowed contact style for secure mating. Designed for through-hole right-angle termination, it accommodates 0.062-inch thick PCBs. The insulator is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing stability across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration with bellowed contact style for reliable signal transmission
• Through-hole right-angle solder termination ensures stable board mounting
• Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulator material offers thermal and chemical resistance
• Gold-plated beryllium copper contacts provide corrosion protection and conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Automotive electronic module connections
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Sullins documentation to confirm flange characteristics and mounting options. Ensure the required PCB thickness matches the component's design specifications. Confirm that the gold plating thickness meets the application's durability requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 0.156-inch pitch is required for high-density dual-row applications. Consider the right-angle orientation for space-constrained vertical board layouts. Verify compatibility with the target PCB thickness and ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the end-use application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the ACM series of card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series is characterized by its robust construction and suitability for demanding industrial environments. The ACM variant specifically denotes a dual-row female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch, distinguishing it from other pitch sizes within the broader product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include AMC18DTAS and ASM18DTMD, which share similar form factors but differ in pitch or flange design. Verify electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution. Cross-reference official datasheets to ensure pinout and mounting hole alignment match the existing design constraints.
