RCM10DCST-S288

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The RCM10DCST-S288 is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 20 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating and employs a solder termination method. Designed for board edge mounting, it accommodates a card thickness of 0.062 inches. The housing is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for non-specified card types
• Solder termination for secure board attachment
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for conductivity
• Polybutylene terephthalate insulation material

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Board-to-board interconnection in electronic assemblies
• Edge card mounting in industrial control systems
• Signal transmission in communication equipment
• Adapter plate connections in modular hardware

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct termination type and contact finish specifications. Confirm that the required card thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch design parameter. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the mounting style matches the intended PCB layout requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for solder termination. Consider the PBT insulation material for thermal stability within the specified operating range. Evaluate the mechanical fit for board edge mounting applications requiring robust signal integrity. Compare against other series options if different pitch or termination methods are needed.
