RBM18DTBH-S189

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The RBM18DTBH-S189 is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 36 positions arranged in two rows of 18 contacts each, with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with a 10.0µin gold plating thickness and ring spring contact types. Designed for through-hole right-angle mounting, it accommodates a 0.062-inch card thickness. The housing is constructed from PPS material, providing an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.
