345-010-524-402

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-010-524-402 is a standard card edge connector from the 345 series, designed for single-sided female connections. It features 10 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester housing. It supports through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-sided female contact configuration for non-specified card edge applications
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides durable insulation
• Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination for secure installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuit interconnections
• Industrial control system module interfaces
• Consumer electronics board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 10-position single-sided configuration. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB's board thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Ensure the manufacturing source is EDAC Inc. or an authorized distributor to guarantee RoHS compliance and material specifications. Check for any regional distribution restrictions before ordering.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row interface is required for boards up to 0.070 inches thick. The 0.100-inch pitch suits general-purpose applications where higher density is not critical. Consider the vertical mounting style and through-hole termination method for assembly constraints. Verify that the 3A current rating meets the circuit requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This model belongs to the EDAC 345 series, which offers a range of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options to accommodate different design needs. The 345-010-524-402 represents a compact solution for smaller modules requiring robust mechanical stability and electrical performance in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 345 series parts for alternative position counts if the 10-pin requirement changes. Verify that substitute components maintain the same 0.100-inch pitch and board thickness compatibility. Ensure that any replacement maintains the through-hole PC pin termination style for direct PCB integration.
