345-021-558-603

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-021-558-603 is a standard card edge connector featuring a single female contact configuration with 21 positions. It utilizes a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and accepts a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts and polyester insulation, rated for 3 A current. Designed for through-hole mounting at a right angle, it includes a top mount opening flange with a floating bobbin and a 0.116-inch diameter hole. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and termination style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB board thickness and mounting requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory standards. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply levels may fluctuate.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, right-angle connection is required for boards with a 1.57 mm thickness. The 21-position count suits moderate density applications. Verify that the 3 A current rating meets circuit demands. Consider the floating bobbin feature if alignment tolerance is a concern during insertion.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 345-021-558-603 specifically addresses needs for right-angle, through-hole connections with flange support in compact electronic designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Check for functional equivalents with identical 21-position counts and 2.54mm pitch. Ensure replacement parts match the right-angle orientation and through-hole termination. Verify compatible board thickness and current ratings.
