RBC36DCMD

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The RBC36DCMD is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 72 positions arranged in two rows of 36, with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with a 30.0µin gold plating thickness and hairpin bellows contact type. Designed for through-hole right-angle mounting, it accommodates a board thickness of 0.062 inches. The insulator is made of PPS, and the flange includes flush mount, top opening, and 4-40 threaded inserts.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for non-specified card types
• Hairpin bellows contact design for reliable engagement
• Flush mount flange with top opening and threaded insert provisions

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• General purpose electronic assemblies using dual-edge cards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official Sullins documentation to confirm exact flange and termination variations. Ensure the target PCB layout supports the required 4-40 threaded insert locations for proper mechanical fixation. Confirm that the mating card thickness aligns with the specified 0.062-inch requirement to guarantee correct insertion depth and contact retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female interface with 0.100-inch spacing is required. The PPS insulator material provides stability within the -65°C to 125°C operating range. Consider the right-angle through-hole mounting profile for space-constrained vertical interconnections. Validate that the 72-position count matches the signal requirements of the application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the RBC series of edgeboard connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various configurations for dual-edge cards. The RBC36DCMD specifically denotes the base model with standard gold plating and PPS insulation. Variations may exist with different suffixes indicating specific flange or packaging options.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include RCC36DCAT and ECM36DCSI from the same manufacturer, provided spacing and mounting constraints match. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mating card dimensions before substitution.
