342-014-500-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 342-014-500-104 is a standard card edge connector from the 342 Series, designed for single-edge applications. It features 14 positions with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester housing. Rated for 3 A current, it employs solder lug termination and panel mount installation at a vertical angle.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female contact configuration for non-specified single-edge boards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides high-temperature insulation
• Solder lug termination facilitates secure panel mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnections
• Vertical circuit board interface systems
• Industrial control module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness, housing color, and flange characteristics. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and mounting requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the part number with the latest EDAC documentation to avoid discrepancies in series specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-edge, vertical panel-mount solution is required. The 14-position count and 2.54 mm pitch define the interface density. Verify that the application environment falls within the operational temperature range and that the solder lug termination method aligns with the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 342 Series, which offers various contact terminations and mounting options. The series includes multiple row configurations and guide solutions. The 342-014-500-104 specifically addresses single-edge needs with a fixed 14-position layout and standard green housing variant.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 342/392 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes. Compatible alternatives may include variants with different flange features or contact counts within the same series, provided the pitch and board thickness remain consistent.
