341-078-524-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 341-078-524-203 is a dual-edge female card edge connector featuring 78 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. Designed for through-hole termination, it utilizes copper alloy contacts with a 10.0µin gold plating thickness to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester and is colored green. It supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for structural stability
• Through-hole solder termination for PCB mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module connections
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and contact orientation against your design requirements before ordering. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Ensure compatibility with standard surface mount or through-hole reflow profiles during manufacturing.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-edge interface is required for vertical panel or chassis mounting. The 2.54mm pitch offers a balance between signal density and manufacturability. Consider the green color coding for visual identification in complex assemblies. Evaluate the thermal operating range to ensure suitability for environments subject to significant temperature fluctuations during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 341 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its robust construction and versatile mounting options. Components in this family are widely used in applications requiring durable electrical connections between circuit boards and chassis-mounted receptacles. The 341 series provides various position counts to accommodate different signal routing needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 78-position count, 2.54mm pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Verify that alternative components support the same through-hole termination method and compatible board thickness specifications. Ensure the replacement maintains equivalent material properties for the contacts and housing to preserve performance integrity.
