Product Overview
Methode Electronics MP-0100-18-DP-1 is a female card-edge connector socket designed to accept printed circuit daughterboards on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) contact centers. It provides 36 dual-readout contacts arranged across two 18-position rows with 0.200 inch row spacing. Built with durable blue glass-filled thermoplastic and gold-plated contacts, it features slotted solder eyelet tails for reliable hand-wired connections and mounting ears with through-holes for rigid panel or chassis installation.

- Daughterboard breakout test fixtures and modular synthesizer rack sub-assemblies
- Point-to-point chassis wiring for DIY audio, computing, and prototyping projects
Frequently Asked Questions
What style of terminals does this connector have?
The connector features dual-row slotted solder eyelet tails (solder lugs) intended for point-to-point hand soldering and wire lead termination.
What are the mounting hole provisions on the housing?
The connector body includes molded mounting ears at each end with clearance holes for standard chassis or panel mounting hardware.
Why buy individual edge connectors here rather than bulk surplus lots?
You can purchase the exact quantity required for your build or repair project without committing to mixed surplus lots of unknown condition. Each unit is inspected, clean unused new old stock with pristine gold contacts and unworked solder lugs. More pieces cost less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day for a flat $8 shipping fee, and shipping is free on orders over $28.
Card-edge sockets are the honest backbone of modular hardware, making board swaps simple and point-to-point wiring stay put. Wire this into your next backplane or legacy chassis and let the circuit do its job.
