315-048-555-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 315-048-555-204 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for board-to-board interconnection. It features 48 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) spacing. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a 10.0µin thickness, utilizing a semi-crimped termination style for solder mounting. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for -40°C to 105°C. It accepts non-specified dual-edge cards with thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to confirm contact finish and flange specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB panel mounting requirements. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Cross-reference the part number with the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate current production status and availability constraints before placing orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 48 positions and 3.96mm pitch is required. Verify that the mating card thickness falls within the 0.054 to 0.070 inch range. Ensure the application environment remains within the -40°C to 105°C operating temperature limits. Confirm that the solder termination method aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 315 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options for diverse electronic applications. The 315 series is characterized by its robust construction and reliable performance in demanding environments. It serves as a critical interconnect solution for modular electronic systems requiring high-density connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 315 series parts with identical pin counts and pitch, such as 315-048-555-202 or 315-048-555-278, provided flange and termination details match. Cross-brand replacements require verifying mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and material compatibility.
