RCA35DTKT-S288

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The RCA35DTKT-S288 is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 70 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.125-inch (3.18mm) pitch. The contacts are gold-plated phosphor bronze, designed for reliable signal transmission. This component accommodates PCBs with a thickness of 0.062 inches and utilizes a locking installation type for secure mounting. It supports right-angle termination and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required insulator material and flange characteristics. Confirm that the mating PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch specification. Ensure the gold plating thickness meets the application's wear requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in the target market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge interface with a 0.125-inch pitch is required. Consider the locking feature for applications subject to mechanical stress or vibration. Evaluate the operating temperature range against environmental conditions. Compare contact count and row configuration with alternative single-edge options if space constraints differ.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to Sullins' female card edge connector series, designed for edgeboard applications. It complements other models in the family that vary by pitch, contact count, and termination style. The series supports various insulator materials including PBT, PPS, and PA9T to suit different thermal and chemical resistance needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include GBA35DTKN-S288 and EBA35DTKT-S288 from the same manufacturer. Verify identical pitch, contact count, and mounting style before substitution. Cross-reference flange dimensions and locking mechanisms to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts.
