GCE20DHRD

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The GCE20DHRD is a dual-sided female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 40 positions with a 0.039 inch (1.00mm) pitch and two rows of 20 contacts each. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze clip spring terminals with 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating for reliable signal transmission. Designed for board edge, straddle mount installation, it accommodates a card thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA9T), nylon 9T insulation material. Operating temperature ranges from -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female configuration with clip spring terminal design for secure mating
• Straddle mount installation style with flush mounting flange featuring top openings
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Polyamide (PA9T) insulation provides thermal stability within specified operating range

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density circuit board interconnections
• Edgeboard connector applications requiring precise 1.00mm spacing
• Industrial control systems operating in extreme temperatures
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required flange characteristics, as variations exist within the GCE20 series. Confirm that the target PCB assembly supports straddle mount installation methods. Ensure the mating card thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch specification. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly. Validate pin count requirements against the 40-position capacity.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.00mm pitch dual-edge connector is required for high-density layouts. Consider the PA9T insulation material for applications demanding higher thermal performance compared to standard nylons. Evaluate the straddle mount footprint against available PCB real estate. Compare contact plating thickness requirements against operational cycle expectations. Assess mechanical retention needs provided by the flush flange design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the GCE20 series of high-density card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various pin counts and pitch options tailored for compact electronic designs. The GCE20DHRD specifically addresses needs for 40-position interfaces with robust mechanical locking capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include GCE20DHRT, which shares identical electrical specifications but differs in flange threading. Other compatible variants within the GCE20 family may offer different pin counts or pitch configurations while maintaining similar mounting styles.
