307-009-457-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-009-457-102 is a standard card edge connector from the 307 series, designed for single-row applications. It features 9 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with tin plating, housed in a green thermoplastic insulator. It supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. Designed for panel mount installation, it accommodates PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female contact configuration for dual-edge card insertion
• Thermoplastic green insulator housing with robust mechanical stability
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount design with specific hole diameter requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Embedded module board-to-backplane interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing
• Consumer electronics internal component linking

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact pin count and contact plating against project specifications before ordering. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified operational range to ensure proper mating force and electrical continuity. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure mounting hardware matches the required flange diameter for secure panel installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, right-angle connection is required for thin profile boards. The 3.96 mm pitch offers a balance between density and spacing reliability. Consider the tin plating for cost-effective solutions where high corrosion resistance is not the primary constraint compared to gold alternatives. Verify compatibility with existing tooling for panel mounting holes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 307 series of standard card edge connectors, widely used in modular electronic designs. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate different form factors. The 307-009-457-102 specifically addresses needs for low-pin-count, single-sided edge connections in compact assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 307 series variants with matching 9-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 307-009-457-104 or 307-009-457-112, provided contact plating and orientation requirements are met. Cross-brand replacements must match pitch, row count, and mounting style precisely.
