316-038-421-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 316-038-421-108 is a standard card edge connector from the 316 Series, designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 76 positions (41 per row) and a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) centerline spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester housing. It supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female contact design accommodates double-sided circuit boards
