AMC44DRMD-S288

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The AMC44DRMD-S288 is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 88 contacts arranged in two rows with 44 positions per row, utilizing a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. Designed for right-angle surface mount installation, the connector accommodates PCBs with a thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The terminals are beryllium copper with gold over nickel plating and employ a bellowed contact style to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Right-angle surface mount design for straddle mounting on board edges
• Bellowed contact style provides secure clamping force for signal integrity
• Gold over nickel terminal finish ensures corrosion resistance and low contact resistance
• Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulator material supports high-temperature operation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density backplane interconnects
• Industrial control system modules
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Computer peripheral expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application utilizes a 0.062 inch thick PCB, as this connector is specifically designed for that dimension. Confirm the requirement for right-angle surface mount termination and the specific 0.100 inch pitch. Ensure compatibility with the 88-contact configuration and check for any necessary locking or keying accessories if polarized installation is required.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-count interface is needed for double-sided edge cards. The beryllium copper contacts offer superior spring properties compared to standard alloys. Consider the PPS insulator for environments requiring higher thermal stability than standard polyamide materials. This model serves as an alternative to similar Sullins series connectors with different pitches or termination styles.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the Sullins Edgecards family, which specializes in high-reliability card edge solutions. The AMC series typically denotes specific insulation materials and contact configurations within the manufacturer's portfolio. It is engineered for applications demanding consistent performance under mechanical stress and thermal cycling, distinguishing it from lower-cost generic alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Sullins models with identical 88-position, 0.100-inch pitch specifications, such as the AMC44DCKS for through-hole variants. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 0.062-inch board thickness accommodation and right-angle orientation to ensure mechanical fit.
