315-014-521-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 315-014-521-208 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for through-hole panel mount applications. It features 14 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold plating finish, ensuring reliable signal transmission. The insulator is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and 105°C. This component supports non-specified dual-edge cards with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for versatile board integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator for thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305, 315, 355 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm that the target PCB design accommodates the required panel mount hole pattern and that the card edge thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070-inch range for proper mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for panel-mounted installations. Ensure compatibility with non-specified dual-edge cards. Consider the operating temperature range and gold contact plating requirements for the intended environment compared to alternative series like 305 or 317 if different mounting styles are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 315 series of standard card edge connectors. It shares common electrical characteristics with other models in the series but differs in physical dimensions and mounting hardware. The 315 series generally offers robust mechanical performance for industrial applications requiring secure board retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 315 series variants with matching 14-position counts and 0.156-inch pitch, such as 315-014-521-202, provided the flange specifications align. Cross-series replacements require careful verification of mounting type and contact geometry.
