341-066-560-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 341-066-560-204 is a dual female card edge connector designed for board-edge mounting applications. It features 66 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes semi-crimped contacts made of copper alloy, finished with 10.0 µin (0.25 µm) gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.054 inches to 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board-to-board or backplane interconnection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance
• Semi-crimped termination style ensures robust mechanical retention on the circuit board

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface modules
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing
• Medical device internal connectivity
• Consumer electronics expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm contact finish thickness and housing material variations. Ensure that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range for proper engagement. Confirm compliance with relevant environmental regulations such as RoHS requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector with a standard 2.54 mm pitch is required for vertical board-edge mounting. Consider the 66-position count and green thermoplastic polyester housing for compatibility with existing panel designs. Evaluate the operating temperature range and current carrying capacity against the specific application load requirements to ensure long-term reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 341 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles to support diverse electronic assembly needs. The 341 series is widely recognized for its durability and consistent performance in demanding industrial and commercial environments requiring reliable high-density interconnections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 341 series variants with matching pin counts and pitch. Cross-brand replacements require verification of identical mechanical dimensions, contact geometry, and electrical ratings to maintain system integrity.
