316-035-520-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 316-035-520-158 is a standard card edge connector from the 316 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 70 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports dual-edge card insertion. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, providing reliable electrical performance. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, suitable for high-temperature environments up to +105°C. Rated at 5 A current, it utilizes wire hole termination for secure connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation facilitates efficient panel integration and space optimization
• Gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability and mechanical durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-panel interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing high-density signal routing
• Medical devices needing reliable vertical interconnects
• Consumer electronics manufacturing with standard card edge profiles

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and pitch compatibility with your PCB design before ordering. Confirm that the dual-edge configuration matches your board layout requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with your application environment. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or availability limitations through authorized channels. Validate that the solder termination method suits your assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Choose this connector when a vertical, dual-edge interface is required for 70-position applications. The 3.96 mm pitch is standard for many industrial and commercial boards. Consider the 5 A rating for power and signal lines. The green housing aids in visual inspection during assembly. Verify that the panel mounting style fits your chassis design constraints compared to surface mount alternatives.
