ESC18DRTN-S734

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The ESC18DRTN-S734 is a dual-row, edge card connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 36 total positions arranged in two rows of 18 contacts each, with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating and full bellows contact types for reliable signal transmission. Designed for through-hole termination, it supports a board thickness of 0.031 inches (0.79 mm). The housing is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing thermal stability within an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration for high-density edge card connections
• Full bellows contact design ensures secure mating force and retention
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts offer corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Polyphenylene sulfide insulation provides robust thermal performance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Embedded computing edge cards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix S734 against official manufacturer documentation to confirm flange characteristics and mounting style. Ensure the required contact plating thickness matches application needs. Confirm that the standard package quantity aligns with production requirements before ordering. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions to validate PCB layout compatibility.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, non-specific edge card interface is required with through-hole mounting. Consider the PPS material and gold plating for environments demanding thermal resilience and oxidation resistance. Verify that the 0.031-inch board thickness specification matches the target PCB design. Evaluate the -65°C to 125°C operating range against environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the ESC series of edge card connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The ESC18DRTN-S734 specifically denotes a 36-position dual-row variant with through-hole termination and gold contacts. It is designed for general-purpose industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable board-to-board or card-to-backplane connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Sullins models with identical pin counts and pitch, such as AMC18DRTN-S734 or RSC18DRTN-S734, provided flange and mounting differences are acceptable. Verify contact material and plating specifications to ensure equivalent electrical performance. Mechanical fit must be confirmed before substitution.
