342-049-500-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 342-049-500-108 is a standard card edge connector from the 342 series, designed for single-edge board applications. It features 49 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and a 0.200-inch (5.08mm) row spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a 10.0µin thickness, rated for 3A current. It supports PCB thicknesses of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, and it employs solder lug termination for panel mount installation.
