333-038-542-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 333-038-542-107 is a standard single-row card edge connector designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features 38 positions with a 3.96 mm pitch, accommodating PCBs up to 1.57 mm thick. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a wire wrap termination method. Rated for 3 A current, the housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-edge contact configuration for standard board insertion
• Wire wrap termination style for secure lead attachment
• Vertical orientation compatible with flush installation flanges

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer part number with official EDAC documentation. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required pin count and termination style. Ensure storage conditions remain within specified limits to preserve contact integrity before assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The wire wrap termination suits applications where manual or automated wrapping is preferred over soldering. Verify that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm maximum specification for proper retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 333 series of card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options. This specific variant focuses on high-current capability and robust mechanical retention for vertical mounting scenarios in electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 333 series parts with matching 38-position counts and wire wrap terminations. Verify identical pitch and PCB thickness requirements before substitution to ensure mechanical fit.
