333-038-544-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 333-038-544-102 is a standard card edge connector from the 333 series, designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features 38 positions with a single row configuration and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inch). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 3 A current. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, offering an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. It supports PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation design for direct board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement. Ensure that the receiving facility's handling procedures align with the component's electrostatic discharge sensitivity ratings. Confirm that the intended application environment remains within the specified operating temperature limits to maintain long-term reliability and contact integrity.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical card edge interface with 38 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts, while the gold plating ensures durability in high-cycle mating scenarios. Consider the thermoplastic polyester housing material for applications requiring moderate chemical resistance and thermal stability up to 105°C during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 333 series of card edge connectors, which are characterized by their robust construction and standardized dimensions. The series offers various position counts and contact configurations to suit diverse electronic assembly needs. The 333-038-544-102 specifically addresses requirements for medium-density connections in vertical mounting orientations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 333 series variants with matching pin counts and pitch, such as the 333-033-544-102 or 333-025-544-102, provided the position count matches the design requirement. Ensure that any replacement maintains the same vertical mounting style and contact plating specifications to preserve electrical performance.
