243-003-542-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 243-003-542-101 is a standard card edge connector designed for single-edge board applications. It features three positions with a contact spacing of 5.08 mm (0.200 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and employs a wire wrap termination method for secure PCB mounting. The housing is constructed from white thermoplastic material, providing electrical insulation and mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single row receptacle configuration for single-edge card insertion
• Wire wrap termination style ensures reliable circuit connection
• Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Medical interconnect solutions in ambulances
• Connections within medical rooms equipment
• Ventilator system interface modules
• CPAP machine internal circuitry

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm RoHS compliance status and detailed dimensional tolerances before integration. Ensure that the target printed circuit board layout matches the 5.08 mm pitch requirement. Confirm that the wire wrap termination process aligns with the manufacturing capabilities available for this component type.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row connector with wire wrap termination is required. The 5.08 mm pitch accommodates larger gauge wires compared to finer pitches. Consider the white insulator color for visual identification during assembly processes. Verify that the single-edge design fits the mechanical constraints of the host board.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 243 series of edgeboard connectors. The series focuses on standard card edge interfaces suitable for various industrial and medical applications. The model number indicates a three-position variant within this family, distinguishing it by contact count while sharing common series characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching the 5.08 mm pitch, wire wrap termination, and single-row form factor.
