GBM43DTBD

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The GBM43DTBD is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 86 positions arranged in two rows of 43 contacts with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) spacing. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with a 10.0µin gold plating thickness and ring bellows contact types. Designed for through-hole, right-angle installation, it accommodates a board thickness of 0.062 inches. The housing is black polyamide (PA9T), rated for operation between -65°C and 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration with 86 female positions for high-density interconnection
• Ring bellows contact type ensures reliable signal transmission
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide corrosion resistance
• Right-angle through-hole mounting facilitates PCB integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Computing hardware backplane interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against the official Sullins Connector Solutions datasheet to ensure compatibility with intended mounting styles and environmental ratings. Confirm that the standard lead time aligns with production schedules, as availability may vary. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required flange characteristics and insulation material properties for the specific application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 86 positions and 0.156-inch spacing is required. Consider the PA9T insulation material and -65°C to 125°C temperature range for suitability. Evaluate the right-angle through-hole mounting against available PCB space. Compare alternative suffixes if different flange features or contact materials are needed for specific mechanical constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the GBM43 series of edgeboard connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various configurations distinguished by suffix codes indicating differences in flange design, contact material, and insulation composition. The GBM43DTBD specifically denotes a dual-edge, black, through-hole variant within this standardized product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include GBM43DTAD and EBM43DTAD, which share identical electrical and mechanical specifications but differ in insulation material (PBT vs PA9T). For applications requiring higher temperature resistance, AGM43DTBD with PPS insulation is an alternative. Verify flange compatibility before substitution.
