RSM10DRTF

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The RSM10DRTF is a dual-row card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 20 contacts arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch pitch. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze bellowed-type terminals with gold plating over nickel barriers. Designed for right-angle surface mount installation, it accommodates non-specified double-sided cards up to 0.062 inches thick. The insulator is constructed from polyphenyleen sulfide (PPS), and the unit includes locking mechanisms for secure attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Right-angle surface mount terminal configuration for PCB integration
• Dual-row design providing 20 total contact positions
• Bellowed contact style ensuring reliable mating engagement
• Integrated locking mechanism for board retention

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module interfaces
• Computing hardware peripheral connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact termination style and locking features. Ensure compatibility with target PCB layout requirements for surface mount assembly. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Confirm that the specified card thickness aligns with the connector's mechanical acceptance range.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Choose this model when right-angle surface mounting is required for dual-row card edge applications. The phosphor bronze construction offers durability, while the PPS insulator provides thermal stability. Verify that the 0.156-inch pitch matches the circuit board trace spacing. Consider the locking feature for vibration-prone environments where secure board retention is critical.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the Sullins Connector Solutions card edge connector family. It shares common electrical characteristics with other models in the series but differs in mounting orientation and termination method. The RSM10DRTF specifically addresses needs for compact, right-angle surface mount solutions in dense electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include RCM10DRTF and HSM10DRTF. These alternatives maintain similar form factors and contact counts but may differ in flange features or material compositions. Verify mechanical fit and electrical specifications before substitution.
