RMC17DTEN

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The RMC17DTEN is a dual-edge female connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 34 total positions arranged in two rows of 17 contacts each, with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) spacing. Designed for panel mounting, it utilizes through-hole termination and gold plating on phosphor bronze contacts. The housing is blue polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), rated for operation between -65°C and 125°C, and supports cards up to 0.062 inches thick.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row edge card interface with full bellows contact design
• Panel mount configuration with free-hanging orientation
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Blue PBT insulator housing for environmental stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Military and aerospace electronic assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TEN' against official datasheets to confirm the exact flange characteristics and material composition. Ensure compatibility with target PCB hole patterns and mating card thickness specifications before integration. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with current manufacturer documentation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row, panel-mount edge connector is required for high-reliability applications. Consider the 0.062-inch card thickness limit and operating temperature range. Compare against similar RMC series variants if different flange styles or insulation materials are needed for specific mechanical constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the RMC series of dual-edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The RMC17DTEN specifically provides a 34-position configuration with a blue PBT housing, distinguishing it from other series members that may use different colors or materials like PPS.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include RMC17DTEH and RMC17DRES, which share identical electrical and mechanical parameters but differ in flange style or color. Verify that any alternative part number matches the required mounting orientation and terminal type.
