GSM11DRKH-S13

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The GSM11DRKH-S13 is a dual-row card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 22 contacts arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch pitch. The connector utilizes bellowed-type female contacts with gold over nickel plating, rated for 3A signal current. Designed for panel mounting, it accommodates double-sided cards up to 0.062 inches thick. Operating temperatures range from -65°C to 125°C, with an insulation material of polyamide (PA9T).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 22 total positions for high-density interconnect applications.
• Bellowed contact style ensures reliable mating engagement and mechanical stability.
• Locking installation option provides secure attachment within the host system.
• Gold over nickel plating on phosphor bronze contacts supports corrosion resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections.
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces.
• Commercial electronic devices needing reliable signal transmission.
• Automotive electronics operating within specified temperature ranges.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required flange characteristics, as variations exist within the GSM11 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with manufacturer packaging standards, typically supplied in trays. Cross-reference the datasheet for exact dimensional tolerances before finalizing procurement specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. The locking feature distinguishes it from non-locking variants, offering enhanced mechanical retention. Consider the thermal rating and contact plating thickness for environments demanding high reliability. Verify compatibility with the target PCB card thickness and mounting hole dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the GSM11 series of card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various configurations differing by row count, pitch, and flange styles. The GSM11DRKH-S13 specifically denotes a dual-row, locking variant designed for general commercial and industrial use.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include GSM11DREF and GSM11DRUS, which share similar electrical parameters but differ in flange design. GSM11DRKN-S13 is another related variant within the same family. Verify mechanical fitment and pinout compatibility before substitution.
