May 5, 2009--Sullins Connector Solutions, Inc.'s RDPS Series (Ruggedized Double Point Series) of card edge connectors are built for durability in high-temperature, harsh environment applications. The RDPS Series is engineered to accept 0.062" (1.58 mm) thick daughtercards and is comprised of 0.100" (2.54 mm), 0.125" (3.18 mm), and 0.156" (3.96 mm) contact centerline parts.
The parts' double-contact-point pin design promotes sturdier daughtercard retention than traditional card edge connectors. This proprietary pin design, coupled with material rating of from -65º to +150º C, helps ensure high mating cycles and long life for electronic systems and end products.
Devices are supplied in dip solder, wire wrap, right-angle bend, and card extender terminations, as well as with a choice of post lengths. Available mounting styles include clearance holes, threaded inserts, side mounting, and with/without mounting ears. Materials are UL94V-0 rated.
The RDPS Series may be specified to connect high-density PC boards to 0.062" daughtercards in a wide range of industrial, consumer, and commercial systems and end products that need be resistant to vibration, drop shock, and short-circuits involving printed tracks on the PC board.
The double-row parts feature a current rating of 3 amps per contact, and are provided in 6 to 70 contact positions (12 to 140 pins). Rated to withstand +150º C continual heat, parts' processing temperature range is up to 260º C peak for 120 seconds. Insulator material options are PBT, PA9T, or PPS. Connectors are supplied standard with 10 microinch or 30 microinch selective gold-plated phosphor bronze or BeCu (beryllium-copper) contacts to facilitate high-reliability soldering. They also feature a fully-insulated 50 microinch nickel underplate. Additional specifications include an insulation resistance of 5,000 megohms minimum at 125 VDC, and a 16-ounce maximum insertion force and a 1-ounce minimum withdrawal force per contact pair. Contact resistance is 30 milliohm maximum.
Parts rated to +175º C, and those requiring customization, may be special ordered. Typical prices for 6-position/12-pin RDPS card edge connectors start at $2.16 each in quantities of 1,000. Delivery is 5 days ARO.
