337-040-524-168

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 337-040-524-168 is a standard single-row card edge connector designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features 40 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 3 A current, the connector utilizes a thermoplastic polyester insulator body and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole termination style for secure board integration
• Gold-plated cantilever spring contacts for durable connection cycles
• High-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic polyester

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects
• Consumer electronic module insertion points

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, row configuration, and termination type. Ensure the target PCB thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm nominal requirement. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches project environmental regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-edge female connector with 40 positions is required for vertical assembly. The 3.96 mm pitch suits standard industrial board layouts. Consider the high-profile body design if additional clearance above the PCB plane is necessary for mechanical stability or mating hardware.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 337 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and row configurations for diverse connectivity needs. The 337 series is widely utilized in applications requiring robust, high-reliability connections between circuit boards and mating edges.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 337 series variants with matching 40-position single-row specifications. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility to ensure mechanical fit.
