GBM30DCBN

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The GBM30DCBN is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 60 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes hairpin bellows contacts made of phosphor bronze, finished with 10.0µin gold plating. Designed for through-hole mounting and solder termination, it accommodates a board thickness of 0.062 inches. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA9T) nylon and supports an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with hairpin bellows contact type for reliable signal transmission
• Through-hole installation with solder termination for secure PCB attachment
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure corrosion resistance and low contact impedance
• Polyamide insulation material provides thermal stability within specified operating temperatures

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Consumer electronics module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm mechanical variations such as flange style or orientation. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and hole dimensions. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate current availability and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided edge connection is required for high-density signal routing. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications where standard spacing is preferred over finer geometries. Consider the hairpin bellows design for superior retention force compared to standard finger contacts. Verify that the 0.062-inch board thickness matches the design constraints. Evaluate the through-hole mounting requirement against available panel space and assembly capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the GBM series of edgeboard connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various configurations for dual-edge applications. The GBM30DCBN specifically denotes a 60-position variant with a 0.156-inch pitch. It shares common family characteristics such as PA9T insulation and gold plating but differs in physical dimensions and contact arrangement from other series members like GBA30DCBN.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include variants with identical pitch and position counts but different mounting styles. Check for equivalent parts with right-angle through-hole options if space constraints differ. Verify that any replacement maintains the same contact type and board thickness tolerance. Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference guide for confirmed interchangeable part numbers.
