60-Position Dual Readout for 0.062" Nominal PCBs
The TE Connectivity 1-5530843-8 is a 60-position, dual-readout female card-edge connector from the Standard Edge II series. It accepts a PCB edge card between 0.054" and 0.070" thick — the sweet spot for standard 0.062" nominal boards.
Card Thickness and Readout Compatibility
This connector is specified for Non Specified - Dual Edge cards, meaning it has two rows of contacts that straddle the PCB edge and read both sides of the gold fingers. The card thickness range of 0.054" to 0.070" covers standard 1.57 mm (0.062") boards with typical plating and solder mask build-up. If your PCB is outside this range — say a 0.093" thick backplane — the contacts won't close properly and you'll risk intermittent connection.
It is a current-production part with no announced end-of-life, so it can be specified into a BOM with confidence.
