345-020-500-458

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-020-500-458 is a standard card edge connector designed for single-row applications with 20 positions. It features a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with a gold finish. The connector supports a board thickness of 1.57mm and employs a solder eyelet termination method. Constructed with a green thermoplastic polyester insulator, it offers reliable electrical performance within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination style matches the target printed circuit board layout before ordering. Confirm that the required board thickness aligns with the connector's design specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended mating card edge dimensions. Check regulatory compliance requirements against project standards. Validate pin count and row configuration against schematic definitions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Choose this component when a single-row interface with solder eyelet termination is required. Select based on the need for a 0.100-inch pitch in compact layouts. Consider the material properties for environmental resistance. Evaluate the current carrying capacity against system load requirements. Assess mechanical stability needs for the specific assembly orientation.
