CWR-170-10-0003

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The CWR-170-10-0003 is a dual female card edge connector manufactured by CW Industries. It features 10 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and a double-sided contact configuration. The component utilizes an IDC termination method for ribbon cable attachment and is designed for free-hanging installation. Contact surfaces are tin-plated over phosphor bronze substrates, providing a current rating of 1 A. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female contact configuration for reliable board interface
• IDC termination mechanism compatible with standard ribbon cables
• Free-hanging mechanical design for flexible assembly integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Ribbon cable interconnection to printed circuit boards
• Edgeboard connector interfaces in industrial control systems
• Signal routing between modular electronic sub-assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status through the official datasheet as documentation indicates detailed requirements rather than simple certification. Confirm end-of-life status with the manufacturer prior to procurement planning. Ensure ribbon cable specifications match the 2.54 mm pitch requirement. Validate that the tin-plated contacts meet the environmental corrosion resistance needs of the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided female card edge interface is required for ribbon cable applications. The 10-position count suits moderate density signal routing. Verify that the IDC termination style aligns with existing assembly tooling. Consider the tin plating finish if gold plating is not strictly necessary for conductivity or corrosion resistance in the specific operating environment.
