GCA31DRMD-S288

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The GCA31DRMD-S288 is a dual-row female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 62 contacts arranged in two rows with a 0.125-inch pitch. The connector utilizes surface mount terminals and includes locking mechanisms for secure attachment. Contact termination is gold over nickel, while the insulator is constructed from polyamide. Designed for right-angle installation, it accommodates standard PC board thicknesses.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration providing 62 contact positions
• Right-angle mounting orientation for space-efficient design
• Integrated locking mechanism to secure the connection
• Surface mount terminal style for automated assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density circuit board interconnections
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment modules
• Computing hardware expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the GCA31DRMD-S288 designation to ensure correct contact count and pitch. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements align with project specifications. Check for any required polarizing keys or accessories not included in the base component package. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity of the polyamide insulation and gold plating prior to soldering.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 0.125-inch pitch is required for high-current or signal integrity applications. The right-angle form factor aids in routing constraints where vertical clearance is limited. The locking feature provides mechanical stability in vibration-prone environments. Consider the surface mount termination method against available PCB fabrication capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the GCA series of card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various contact counts and termination styles. The GCA31DRMD-S288 specifically addresses needs for dual-sided connectivity with robust mechanical retention. It serves as a critical interface point between daughter cards and motherboards in modular electronic systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0.125-inch pitch, 62-contact count, and right-angle orientation. Verify that alternative components support the same surface mount termination and locking features. Insulator material compatibility and flammability ratings should be compared to ensure equivalent performance standards.
