GCA35DTMD

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The GCA35DTMD is a dual-sided card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 70 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.125-inch (3.18mm) pitch. Designed for through-hole right-angle mounting, it accommodates a board thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The contacts are female bellowed type made of phosphor bronze with gold plating. The insulator is black polyamide (PA9T), and the flange includes side-mounted openings without threads.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Right-angle through-hole mounting configuration for vertical PCB integration
• Dual-sided contact design accommodating standard 0.062-inch boards
• Gold-plated bellowed contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required right-angle orientation and dual-sided contact configuration. Confirm compatibility with the target printed circuit board thickness of 0.062 inches to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if operating in regulated environments. Ensure the gold plating specification meets the intended electrical performance needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a right-angle connection is necessary for space-constrained designs. The dual-sided layout maximizes I/O density on the edge of the board. Verify that the 0.125-inch pitch aligns with existing board trace spacing. Consider the PA9T insulator material for thermal stability during soldering processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the GCA series of card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various mounting styles and contact configurations. This specific variant emphasizes right-angle installation and dual-sided connectivity for high-density applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include ECA35DTMD and GSA35DTMI, provided they match the right-angle orientation and dual-sided requirements. Verify that alternative parts support the same 0.062-inch board thickness and 0.125-inch pitch specifications.
