RCM15DRTS

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The RCM15DRTS is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 30 positions arranged in two rows of 15 contacts, with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze full bellows contacts and a green polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulator. Designed for through-hole termination, it supports a board thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The unit operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 125°C and includes side-mounting flanges with unthreaded 0.125-inch diameter holes.

• Gold-plated phosphor bronze terminals ensure corrosion resistance and low contact resistance
• Green PPS insulation provides high thermal stability and mechanical strength
• Side-mounting flange with unthreaded holes facilitates secure panel installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects
• Consumer electronics module integration

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Sullins documentation to confirm mounting style and orientation. Ensure the target PCB edge thickness matches the 0.062-inch specification. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements align with project standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge female connection is required with a 0.156-inch pitch. Consider the through-hole mounting method and side-flange design for structural support. Evaluate the operating temperature range and material compatibility with the mating card edge specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the RCM15 series of card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various configurations differing in pitch, mounting style, and contact type. The RCM15DRTS specifically denotes a dual-edge, right-angle or straight variant with 0.156-inch spacing, distinct from the 0.100-inch pitch RMC15DRTS.
