341-094-522-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 341-094-522-201 is a dual-row female card edge connector designed for vertical board-to-board interconnections. It features 94 positions with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) contact pitch and a 0.200 inch (5.08 mm) row spacing. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy half-beam spring types, ensuring reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C. This receptacle supports PCB thicknesses of 0.054 to 0.070 inches and utilizes through-hole termination for secure mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration with gold-plated half-beam spring contacts
• Green thermoplastic polyester insulation housing
• Through-hole termination for panel or board mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density I/O
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the target printed circuit board accommodates the required 0.054 to 0.070 inch thickness range for proper mechanical retention. Confirm that the 94-position footprint aligns with the design layout before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count, dual-row interface is necessary within standard 0.100 inch grid constraints. The half-beam spring contact design offers superior retention force compared to standard beam contacts. Consider the operating temperature range and insulation material compatibility with soldering processes during the design phase.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 341 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors characterized by their robust construction and versatile mounting options. The series provides various position counts and termination styles to accommodate different system density requirements while maintaining consistent electrical performance standards across the product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pin counts and pitch but different termination styles, such as wire lead variants. Cross-series replacements require careful evaluation of mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings to ensure functional equivalence in the existing assembly.
