RSM10DREI

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The RSM10DREI is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 20 positions arranged in two rows of ten, with a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96mm). Designed for panel mounting via through-hole termination, the unit utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with a gold plating thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). The housing is constructed from green polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and supports a card thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Operating temperature ranges from -65°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration with full bellows contact type for secure mating
• Panel mount installation with top opening and threaded inserts
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity
• High-temperature resistant PPS insulation material

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Automotive electronic control units

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm the exact flange characteristics and mounting style, as variations exist within the RSM10 series. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB hole pattern and panel cutout dimensions before ordering. Confirm that the required card thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch specification. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for dual-edge cards. The panel mount design with threaded inserts offers superior mechanical stability compared to free-hanging variants. Consider the operating temperature range and insulation material properties to ensure suitability for harsh environments. Compare against similar models like RSM10DRKI or RSM10DRAI if different mounting orientations are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the RSM10 series of female card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The series provides various mounting options including panel mount and right-angle configurations. The RSM10DREI specifically denotes the panel mount variant with threaded inserts, distinguishing it from other series members that may feature side-mount openings or different contact materials.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include RSM10DRKI and RSM10DRAI, which share the same electrical specifications and pin count but differ in mounting orientation or flange design. Verify that any replacement part matches the required panel cutout dimensions and threading specifications to ensure proper mechanical fit.
