GCM31DCAD

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The GCM31DCAD is a dual-edge female edgeboard connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 62 positions arranged in two rows with a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold plating, specifically designed for reliable signal transmission. The connector supports a card thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm) and utilizes a right-angle through-hole mounting style. Insulation is provided by polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), ensuring stability across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with 62 total positions across two rows
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for enhanced conductivity
• Right-angle through-hole mounting for PCB integration
• Polybutylene terephthalate insulation material for thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment board interfaces
• Computing hardware expansion slots
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Sullins documentation to confirm plating type and insulation material variations. Ensure the target application matches the 0.156-inch pitch and 0.062-inch card thickness specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female interface with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. Consider the gold plating for applications demanding high corrosion resistance and low contact resistance. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the right-angle through-hole termination style and the specified thermal operating range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the GCM series of edgeboard connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series is characterized by high-density configurations suitable for complex electronic assemblies. The GCM31DCAD variant specifically addresses needs for wider spacing between pins while maintaining a dual-sided connection profile for increased I/O capacity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include models with identical pitch and position counts, such as ECA31DCAD or RCC31DCAD, though these differ in pitch dimensions. Verify mechanical compatibility and electrical ratings before substituting, as variations in contact plating and insulation materials may affect performance characteristics.
