345-012-524-478

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-012-524-478 is a standard card edge connector from the 345 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a dual female configuration with 12 positions and a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold plating thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). The insulator is green thermoplastic polyester, supporting board thicknesses of 0.054" to 0.070" (1.37mm to 1.78mm). Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and flange specifications. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the 0.054" to 0.070" range for proper mechanical engagement. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 12-position interface is required with a standard 2.54mm spacing. It is suitable for designs needing through-hole stability and wire-wrap termination options. Consider the operating temperature range and material compatibility with the mating card edge conductor layout during the initial schematic capture phase.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for diverse interconnect needs. The 345-012 variant specifically addresses compact dual-sided connection requirements in space-constrained electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 345 series parts for alternative pin counts or single-sided variants. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before substituting with generic equivalents to ensure proper board clearance and mounting hole alignment.
