345-010-542-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-010-542-507 is a standard card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features a dual-edge configuration with 10 positions and a 0.100" (2.54mm) contact pitch. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm). Contacts are female type with gold plating on the mating area, while tails utilize tin plating over nickel underplating for wire wrap termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accommodating specified board thicknesses
• Gold-plated mating contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Tin-plated tails with nickel underplating support wire wrap termination
• Through-hole installation with flange features for secure mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Standard card edge interconnects in electronic assemblies
• Wire wrap termination applications requiring durable connections
• Electronic modules utilizing 0.062" nominal PCB thickness

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact termination style and contact plating specifications required for the application. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm that the wire wrap tail dimensions align with the available space in the assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise mechanical drawings before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with wire wrap capability is required. The 0.100 inch pitch suits standard density layouts. Verify that the application environment does not exceed the operating temperature range. Ensure the PCB design accommodates the through-hole tails and the specific flange mounting requirements defined by the manufacturer.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series, which provides standard card edge connectors with 0.100 inch spacing. The series offers various configurations for different board thicknesses and termination styles. The 345-010-542-507 specifically addresses needs for low-count, dual-edge connections using wire wrap technology for robust terminal attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts like 345-010-540-407 or 345-010-542-158, depending on the required tail plating and flange configuration. Verify that any replacement maintains the 0.100 inch pitch and compatible board thickness. Ensure the alternative part supports the necessary wire wrap termination method.
