RBM36DRKH

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The RBM36DRKH is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 72 positions arranged in two rows of 36 contacts each, with a contact pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accommodates a board thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm) and utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with a gold plating finish. Designed for through-hole right-angle mounting, it employs a bellowed contact type for reliable engagement. The insulator is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), supporting an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration designed for robust connection to double-sided printed circuit boards.
• Right-angle through-hole mounting facilitates secure PCB integration with standard soldering processes.
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze bellowed contacts ensure durable electrical performance and low contact resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density interconnects in industrial control systems
• Communication equipment backplanes and modules
• Computing hardware requiring reliable board-to-board connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Sullins documentation to confirm exact termination style and keying options. Ensure the selected variant matches the required board thickness tolerance and mounting orientation for your specific assembly. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for your target market before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count, dual-edge interface is required for structural stability. The 0.156-inch pitch allows for broader trace spacing compared to finer pitches, simplifying PCB layout. Consider the right-angle form factor for space-constrained enclosures where vertical clearance is limited but horizontal depth is available.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the RBM series of card edge connectors, which are engineered for demanding environments. The series offers various termination and mounting options to accommodate different mechanical constraints. The RBM36DRKH specifically addresses applications needing a balance between high connectivity density and mechanical reliability through its dual-row design.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the RBM36DCAN and RBM36DRKF from the same manufacturer family. Verify that alternative parts match the 72-position count, 0.156-inch pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Confirm compatibility with existing PCB footprints and housing dimensions before switching components.
