337-012-540-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 337-012-540-102 is a standard single-row card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 12 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch, accommodating PCB thicknesses of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. 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 green 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 female contact configuration for non-specified card types
• Wire wrap termination for secure circuit board connection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester housing providing thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Microcontroller interface connections
• Embedded system board-to-board interconnects
• Industrial control module integration

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region. Cross-reference the Mouser or DigiKey part numbers to validate sourcing channels before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, vertical through-hole connector is required for boards up to 1.78 mm thick. Ensure the application environment stays within the -40°C to +105°C operating range. Verify that the wire wrap termination style matches the assembly process and that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the mating card edge dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 337 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options, including flanged and socket variants. The 337-012-540-102 specifically represents a 12-position variant with gold contacts and a thermoplastic polyester insulator, suitable for general-purpose electronic assemblies requiring robust mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and row count but different position counts, such as 337-006-540-604 or 337-014-540-102, provided the physical footprint allows. Verify that any replacement maintains the same wire wrap termination and vertical mounting angle.
