ECA15DCSS-S288

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The ECA15DCSS-S288 is a dual female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 30 positions arranged in two rows of 15, with a 0.125-inch (3.18mm) pitch. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze with a gold plating thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm). Designed for board edge and straddle mount installation, it utilizes a solder termination method. The housing is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), supporting a flange with side mounting openings featuring a 0.125-inch diameter without threads. It accommodates a card thickness of 0.062 inches and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row female configuration for high-density signal routing
• Straddle mount design with side-mounted flange openings
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity
• Solder termination ensures secure PCB attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix S288 against official Sullins Connector Solutions documentation to confirm exact material and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target card thickness of 0.062 inches and verify that the side-mount flange design aligns with the mechanical constraints of the assembly enclosure. Cross-reference the RoHS status and MSL rating with current regulatory requirements for the intended deployment environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.125-inch pitch is required for straddle mounting applications. The choice is driven by the need for side-mounted flange openings rather than top-mounted threaded options. Consider the PBT insulation material and phosphor bronze contact composition for standard environmental durability. This model is suitable where solder termination is preferred over wire-wrap methods.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the ECA series of female card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various configurations differing by pitch, position count, and flange characteristics. The ECA15 variant specifically provides a 30-position layout, distinguishing it from higher-density models like the ECC or GCC series which may offer different pitch options or termination styles such as wire-wrap.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Sullins models with identical 0.125-inch pitch and dual female configuration, such as the ECC15DCSS-S288 if top-mounted flanges are acceptable. Verify mechanical fit for the 0.062-inch card thickness. Alternative brands may require re-evaluation of flange mounting styles and termination methods.
