307-021-445-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-021-445-102 is a standard card edge connector from the 307 series, designed for single-edge board applications. It features 21 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts PCB thicknesses of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with tin plating and thermoplastic polyester insulation. Rated for 5 A current, it supports wire wrap termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-edge female connector configuration for non-specified card types
• Wire wrap termination method for secure circuit attachment
• Thermoplastic polyester housing providing electrical insulation
• Copper alloy contacts with tin plating for conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Single-sided card edge interface connections
• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring vertical orientation
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard card edge protocols

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating material against project requirements, as datasheets may list tin or gold variants within this part number structure. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the mating card edge dimensions. Ensure the wire wrap termination style matches the available assembly infrastructure. Check RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence in target markets.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 21-position interface is required with a 3.96 mm spacing. The wire wrap termination necessitates compatible wiring tools and practices. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for environmental suitability. Verify that the thermoplastic polyester housing meets mechanical strength requirements for the installation environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 307 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles, including headers and receptacles. The 307-021-445-102 specifically addresses single-edge applications with a fixed 21-position count and wire wrap connectivity, distinguishing it from solder tab or surface mount variants in the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other EDAC 307 series parts with identical 21-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify compatibility of the wire wrap termination style with existing assembly processes. Ensure matching thermal ratings and insulation materials before substituting.
