RCM31DCST

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The Sullins Connector Solutions RCM31DCST is a dual-edge card edge connector featuring 62 positions arranged in two rows of 31 contacts. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and supports a maximum card thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The connector employs female ring bellows contact types with gold plating at a thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm). Constructed from phosphor bronze, it offers through-hole termination for reliable soldering. The housing is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing thermal stability across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration with female ring bellows contacts for secure board-to-card interface
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze terminals ensure durable electrical connectivity
• Polyphenylene sulfide insulation provides high-temperature resistance and structural integrity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Board-to-card interconnection systems
• Industrial control modules requiring robust edge connections
• Electronic assemblies utilizing standard 0.062 inch thick circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official documentation, as variations may exist within the product line. Confirm that the required contact spacing and card thickness align with your PCB design specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations if applicable to your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the terminal material and plating thickness requirements with your signal integrity needs before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 0.156-inch spacing is required. It is suitable for applications demanding high thermal stability due to the PPS housing material. Consider the through-hole mounting style and ring bellows contact type for vibration resistance. Ensure the 62-position count matches your circuit layout requirements and that the 0.062-inch card thickness compatibility fits your board constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the RCM series of edge connectors manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. The series is designed for general-purpose electronic interconnections, offering various configurations to suit different board densities and mechanical requirements. The RCM31DCST specifically addresses needs for dual-sided access with standardized spacing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include models with identical 62-position dual-edge female configurations and 0.156-inch spacing, such as the RCM31DTKI or ACM31DTAD, provided they meet the same mechanical and environmental specifications.
