Rack Unit Extender Module 262303 Edge Card to 36-Pin Ribbon Cable AMP 380344-1
This is a rack unit extender module (part number 262303) that provides an interface between a 36-pin edge card connector and a multi-conductor ribbon cable harness. The module consists of a metal-housed PCB with a row of gold-contact edge card fingers on one end and a bundle of ribbon cable assemblies terminating in individual connectors on the other. It is used to extend or route signals from a backplane or card-edge interface to discrete wiring or subassemblies within a rack or chassis system. The AMP 380344-1 connector assembly is attached to the module, and the date code on the label reads 8339 (week 39 of 1983).

Applications
Rack unit extender modules of this type are used in industrial control systems, instrumentation racks, and legacy computing or data acquisition equipment where signals from a card-edge backplane need to be routed or fanned out to individual subsystems. The edge card to ribbon cable configuration is common in mid-1980s instrumentation and industrial rack systems, where standardized card-edge connectors (such as the AMP 380344-1 series) provided reliable, field-serviceable connections. These modules allow technicians to extend a card slot interface outside the chassis for testing, signal distribution, or rewiring purposes. They remain useful today for maintaining, repairing, or reverse-engineering legacy rack-based systems that use the same edge card pinout.
This Rack Unit Extender Module (part number 262303) has been inspected and is in good used condition. The edge card connector and ribbon cable harness are intact with no broken or bent pins visible. The module body shows light surface wear consistent with prior use. The ribbon cable connectors appear undamaged. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
