FSM43DSEI-S13

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

FSM43DSEI-S13 is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 86 contacts arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated bellowed-type contacts and is designed for straddle mounting on board edges. It supports a card thickness of 0.062 inches and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 200°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for non-specified dual-edge cards
• Gold-plated bellowed contact style for reliable signal transmission
• Straddle mounting installation option for secure board attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic interconnects
• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S13' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm plating thickness and material specifications, as suffixes often denote critical variations in finish or compliance status. Ensure the ordering quantity matches the standard packaging format provided by authorized distributors to avoid partial reel issues.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-contact-count interface is required for dual-edge PCBs. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates larger gauge traces compared to standard 0.100-inch connectors. Confirm that the mating card thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch design specification to ensure proper mechanical engagement and electrical continuity.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the FSM series of card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series is characterized by robust construction suitable for demanding environments. The FSM43 designation indicates the specific contact count and form factor within the broader product family, distinguishing it from single-row or different pitch variants.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include FMM43DSEF-S13 and ACM43DSEI-S13, which share identical 86-position counts and 0.156-inch pitch dimensions. Verify compatibility regarding contact termination type and insulation material before substitution.
