Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm the 94-position count and 2.54 mm pitch specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the gold plating meets required conductivity standards for the specific application environment before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge socket with 94 positions is required. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design. Verify that the 3 A current rating and thermoplastic polyester material are suitable for the operating temperature range and environmental conditions of the intended system.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 342 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, utilizing consistent 2.54 mm pitch dimensions. The 342-094-544-204 variant specifically addresses high-pin-count requirements with a dual-edge configuration, fitting within the broader family of industrial-grade interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 342 Series variants such as 342-066-544-201 or 342-104-544-207 if position count adjustments are needed. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 2.54 mm pitch, 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance, and gold-plated contact specifications to preserve mechanical and electrical compatibility.
