GSM03DRKN

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The GSM03DRKN is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 6 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with a 10.0µin gold plating thickness for reliable signal transmission. Designed for through-hole right-angle mounting, it accommodates a board thickness of 0.062 inches. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA9T) nylon 9T material, ensuring durability and chemical resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration designed for non-specified dual-edge cards
• Full bellows contact type ensures secure mating force and retention
• Through-hole right-angle termination facilitates PCB integration
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module connections
• Automotive electronic circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against the official Sullins Connector Solutions datasheet to ensure compatibility with intended mounting hardware and environmental conditions. Confirm that the RoHS3 compliance status meets current regulatory standards for the target market. Cross-reference the lead time with authorized distributors as manufacturing schedules may vary based on order volume and regional availability constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, dual-edge female connector is required for right-angle PCB mounting. Ensure the target application supports a 0.062-inch board thickness and operates within the specified temperature range. Consider the PA9T insulation material for applications requiring high thermal stability and chemical resistance compared to standard nylon variants.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the GSM series of female card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various pin counts and housing colors to distinguish different circuit functions or voltage levels. The GSM03DRKN specifically represents a 6-position variant within this standardized lineup, maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions across the family for interchangeable design purposes.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include GSM03DRAN and GSM03DRKI, which share identical electrical and mechanical specifications but differ in housing color. Verify that alternative colors do not conflict with existing visual coding schemes in the assembly. No functional changes are implied by color variations unless explicitly documented in manufacturer updates.
