EB72D-SE2240X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EB72D-SE2240X is a 44-position female card edge connector manufactured by Vishay Dale, designed for dual-edge board mounting applications with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch spacing. This connector features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with full bellows design and solder eyelet termination, suitable for applications requiring reliable edge card interfacing across industrial temperature ranges.

The EB72D-SE2240X is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support legacy system maintenance and production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EB72D-SE2240X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: 44-position connector with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch spacing and dual-edge configuration
• Mechanical Compatibility: Female gender, board edge straddle mount, solder eyelet termination
• Contact Specifications: Phosphor bronze material with gold plating and full bellows contact type
• Environmental Performance: Operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity classification
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH status for end-use application requirements

The GSM22DSEH-S13 manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions meets these substitution criteria as a functionally equivalent alternative to the obsolete EB72D-SE2240X.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GSM22DSEH-S13 is the designated substitute for the obsolete EB72D-SE2240X based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The EB72D-SE2240X is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The GSM22DSEH-S13 is an active product with current manufacturing support and documented availability.

Regulatory Compliance: The GSM22DSEH-S13 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system updates. The original EB72D-SE2240X is RoHS non-compliant, which may restrict its use in regulated applications.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (44 positions, 0.156" pitch, dual-edge configuration) and mechanical characteristics (female gender, board edge straddle mount, solder eyelet termination, phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts with full bellows design).

Environmental Performance: The GSM22DSEH-S13 provides an extended low-temperature operating range (-65°C vs. -55°C), offering improved performance in cold-temperature applications while maintaining the upper temperature limit of 125°C.

Card Thickness Compatibility: The GSM22DSEH-S13 nominal card thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm) falls within the EB72D-SE2240X acceptance range of 0.054" ~ 0.071" (1.37mm ~ 1.80mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing edge card designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GSM22DSEH-S13 directly replace the EB72D-SE2240X in existing designs?

A: Yes. The GSM22DSEH-S13 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the EB72D-SE2240X across all critical parameters: 44-position count, 0.156" pitch spacing, dual-edge configuration, female gender, solder eyelet termination, and identical contact material and finish specifications. The connector is designed for board edge straddle mount applications and is compatible with edge cards within the specified thickness range.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The EB72D-SE2240X is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the GSM22DSEH-S13 is actively manufactured and ROHS3 compliant. The GSM22DSEH-S13 also provides an extended low-temperature operating range (-65°C vs. -55°C). Both connectors are functionally equivalent for electrical and mechanical applications.

Q: Does the GSM22DSEH-S13 require any design modifications for integration?

A: No design modifications are required. The GSM22DSEH-S13 maintains identical pitch spacing, position count, termination method, and mounting configuration as the EB72D-SE2240X. The connector is a direct form-fit-function replacement suitable for PCB layouts designed for the original part.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these connectors?

A: The EB72D-SE2240X packaging is not specified in available documentation. The GSM22DSEH-S13 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production and assembly operations.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching to the GSM22DSEH-S13?

A: The GSM22DSEH-S13 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, making it suitable for applications subject to current regulatory requirements. If your application requires RoHS compliance, the GSM22DSEH-S13 is the appropriate choice. The original EB72D-SE2240X is RoHS non-compliant and may not be suitable for regulated markets or new production runs.

Q: What is the card thickness compatibility range for the GSM22DSEH-S13?

A: The GSM22DSEH-S13 is specified for 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness. This nominal thickness is compatible with edge cards designed for the EB72D-SE2240X, which accepts card thicknesses from 0.054" ~ 0.071" (1.37mm ~ 1.80mm). Verify your specific edge card thickness falls within this range before implementation.
