345-009-525-658

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-009-525-658 is a standard card edge connector designed for single-sided board applications. It features 9 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating, specifically configured as cantilever type. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, and the unit is rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female contact configuration for non-specified single-edge boards
• Cantilever contact design ensuring reliable engagement
• Gold-plated copper alloy terminals for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation for thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Single-sided printed circuit board interconnection
• Industrial control panel signal routing
• Embedded system module connectivity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness and flange configuration. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range for proper mechanical fit. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row interface is required for thin single-sided boards. The 0.100-inch pitch is standard for general-purpose digital signals. Consider the cantilever contact style for ease of insertion. Verify that the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations. The 345-009 variant specifically addresses low-pin-count single-sided applications. It complements other series members by providing standardized dimensions and electrical characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC 345-009-524-178 for similar single-row specifications. Verify dimensional compatibility and pin count equivalence. Ensure mating board edge clearance matches the connector profile.
