345-024-523-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-024-523-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 345 series, designed for through-hole mounting with a vertical orientation. It features 24 positions arranged in a dual configuration with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy and finished with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. This component supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 inches to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure card edge mating.
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides durable insulation.
• Vertical through-hole termination ensures stable PCB integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects.
• Medical equipment interfaces needing reliable signal paths.
• Agricultural technology hardware operating in harsh environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required dual configuration and 24-position count. Confirm that the gold plating specification aligns with your environmental requirements. Ensure the thermal polyester housing material is suitable for your operational temperature range. Check compatibility with the target board thickness limits before finalizing procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-sided female connector is required for vertical mounting. The 2.54 mm pitch suits standard board layouts. Consider the 3 A current rating and -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Verify that the flangeless design meets mechanical constraints compared to flanged alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations. The 345-024 variant specifically addresses applications needing 24 connections. It shares common design traits like vertical mounting and through-hole termination with other parts in the family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 345-024-523-588, which maintains the same 24-position dual female configuration. Verify that any replacement matches the 0.100-inch pitch and through-hole termination style to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
