341-018-556-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 341-018-556-207 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 341 Series, designed for board-to-board interconnection. It features 18 positions with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and supports non-specified dual-edge cards. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with gold plating and a thermoplastic polyester insulator. Key mechanical specifications include a straddle mount installation type, flanges with M3 threaded inserts, and compatibility with card thicknesses ranging from 0.054" to 0.070" (1.37mm to 1.78mm).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Straddle mount design for secure board edge connection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Integrated flanges with M3 threaded inserts for panel mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects in industrial equipment
• Signal extension in electronic test and measurement devices
• Modular system integration requiring dual-edge card support

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to ensure correct contact termination and insulation material specifications. Confirm that the required card thickness falls within the specified operational range of 0.054" to 0.070". Check for any recent updates to RoHS compliance status or packaging quantities before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a straddle mount configuration is required for dual-edge card applications. Ensure the mating PCB or card edge thickness aligns with the connector's tolerance limits. Consider the M3 flange mounting option if panel attachment is necessary. Verify that the 18-position count meets the circuit requirements without unnecessary pin count overhead.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 341 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, including vertical and straight orientations. The 341-018-556-207 specifically addresses needs for low-count, dual-edge connections with robust mechanical fixation via threaded flanges.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include 341-018-500-207 and 341-018-521-207, provided the mounting style and termination method match the design requirements.
