316-033-500-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 316-033-500-101 is a standard card edge connector from the 316 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a dual female configuration with 66 positions and a 0.156-inch pitch. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current. The housing is thermoplastic polyester, supporting board thicknesses of 1.57 mm. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C, with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure card edge engagement
• Vertical panel mount style for stable structural integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm pin count and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical enclosure design requirements for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-row connection is required within a constrained vertical space. The 316 series offers robust thermal performance suitable for environments up to +105°C. Consider the gold plating for applications requiring frequent mating cycles or corrosion resistance in harsh industrial settings compared to tin-plated alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 316 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in modular electronic systems. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate different board sizes and mechanical constraints. These connectors are engineered for durability and consistent electrical performance in demanding operational conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC cross-reference guides for direct substitutes. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 66-position count, 0.156-inch pitch, and dual female contact type to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesigning the host assembly.
