1-2340321-4

Overview

The 1-2340321-4 is a female edgeboard connector assembly manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. It features a straddle mount configuration designed for board edge connections with 168 positions. The contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission, and the housing is black. This component is supplied in tray packaging and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Straddle mount design for secure board edge insertion
• Gold contact finish for enhanced conductivity
• High-density 168-position layout

Applications

• High-speed data interface modules
• Server backplane interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and revision level against the latest manufacturer datasheet to ensure compatibility with current production requirements. Confirm that the straddle mount form factor aligns with the target PCB footprint and mechanical constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count female connector is required for straddle-mounted applications. Ensure the mating board supports the 0.76mm pitch specification and verify that the gold plating meets the necessary environmental and electrical performance criteria for the intended operational lifespan.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMP Connectors family of edgeboard connectors. It serves as a critical interconnect solution for dense electronic assemblies, providing robust mechanical retention and electrical continuity between the connector housing and the printed circuit board edge.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official TE Connectivity documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other series without validating pin count, pitch, and mounting style specifications.
