Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact plating thickness specifications. Ensure that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the acceptable range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm for proper mechanical engagement. Confirm that the manufacturing source is authorized to prevent counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 24-position vertical interface is required for single-sided card edge applications. It is suitable for environments requiring a wide operational temperature range and moderate current carrying capacity. Consider alternative series if surface mount technology or dual-row configurations are necessary for the design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles, providing modular solutions for electronic interconnects. The 345-024-544-201 specifically addresses the need for a mid-range position count in vertical mounting scenarios.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 345 series parts with matching 24 positions and 2.54 mm pitch, such as 345-024-544-108, provided the termination style aligns with the assembly requirements.
