345-017-500-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-017-500-102 is a standard card edge connector socket featuring 17 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. Designed for single-edge non-specified cards, it utilizes a vertical through-hole mounting style with wire wrap termination. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, supporting a current rating of 3 A and operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female contact configuration for single-edge board insertion
• Vertical orientation with wire wrap termination for secure PCB attachment
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed in green thermoplastic polyester

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuit board interconnections
• Industrial control system module interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplane connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and termination type against design requirements before procurement. Confirm that the single-edge card specification matches the target PCB layout. Ensure the vertical mounting profile fits within the available enclosure height constraints. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row interface is required for thin circuit boards. The wire wrap termination is suitable for prototyping or applications where soldering is not preferred. Consider the 3 A current rating and thermal limits for power distribution needs. Verify compatibility with existing tooling for wire wrap assembly processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options to accommodate different board thicknesses and electrical requirements. The 345-017 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a compact 17-position interface with robust mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 345 series parts with matching 17-position counts and wire wrap terminations. Cross-reference physical dimensions and pin spacing to ensure mechanical fit. Verify electrical ratings and material compositions for equivalent performance in critical environments.
