341-108-520-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 341-108-520-208 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 108 positions with a contact spacing of 0.100 inches (2.54 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). It utilizes gold-plated contacts on a copper alloy base, ensuring reliable electrical performance. The unit employs a panel mount installation style with a straight orientation. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, providing stability across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge receptacle configuration for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated half-bevel contacts for enhanced conductivity
• Low-profile insulator body design for space-constrained assemblies
• Panel mount installation with straight orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Medical device internal module connections
• Consumer electronics expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness and flange specifications. Ensure that the target PCB thickness aligns with the connector's acceptance range of 0.062 inches nominal. Confirm compliance with relevant environmental directives such as RoHS before finalizing procurement orders for production integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-edge connection is required for 108-position interfaces. The 0.100-inch pitch suits general-purpose industrial and commercial applications. Consider the panel mount style if chassis mounting is preferred over board-level insertion. Verify thermal requirements against the specified -40°C to +105°C operational range for the intended environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 341 series, which focuses on standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 341-108 variant specifically addresses mid-range density needs. It complements other series like the 391 for different mechanical constraints. The product line emphasizes durability and standardized dimensions for broad compatibility.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 341 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing pin counts or termination styles. Cross-reference with distributor databases for equivalent parts from other manufacturers only if mechanical and electrical parameters match exactly.
