EMC18DRXN

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EMC18DRXN 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 pitch of 0.100 inches (2.54 mm). The connector utilizes phosphor bronze full bellows contacts with a gold plating thickness of 30.0 µin (0.76 µm). Designed for through-hole termination, it accommodates a card thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The insulator is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and is colored blue. The unit operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Gold-plated phosphor bronze terminals provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance
• Through-hole mounting facilitates secure PCB integration without additional hardware

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Consumer electronics board-to-board connections
• Automotive electronic module interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's current catalog to confirm material composition and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB pad layout and card edge thickness requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Cross-reference the lead time with the distributor's current availability as standard delivery periods may vary based on production schedules.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 0.100-inch pitch dual-row female connector is required for non-specified card edges. The PBT insulator offers good chemical resistance and thermal stability. Consider the blue color coding for visual identification during assembly. Verify that the 0.062-inch card thickness matches the mating component specifications to ensure proper engagement and mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EMC series of card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series provides various configurations for different pitch and row requirements. The EMC18DRXN specifically addresses needs for dual-row, 36-position connections with standard through-hole termination. It serves as a reliable interface solution for rigid board applications requiring durable electrical contact.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EMC18DRXH and EMC18DRYI-S13, which share similar pin counts and pitch but differ in flange features or mounting styles. Verify mechanical fit and electrical parameters before substitution.
