345-028-559-858

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-028-559-858 is a dual female card edge connector featuring 28 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. It utilizes through-hole termination and copper alloy cantilever contacts with gold plating. Designed for non-specified double-sided cards, it accommodates board thicknesses of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The unit includes flanges with top-mounting openings and 4-40 threaded inserts for secure panel installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for reliable signal transmission
• Gold-plated cantilever contacts ensure low insertion force and durability
• Integrated flange design with threaded inserts for robust panel mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring durable interconnects
• Medical equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Agricultural technology hardware exposed to harsh environments

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm terminal type and insulation color. Ensure the receiving board thickness falls within the specified range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Confirm that the application environment remains within the operational temperature limits of -40°C to 105°C. Cross-reference the flange specifications with the mechanical drawing to validate mounting hole alignment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical or right-angle dual-row interface is required for 28-position connections. The 0.100-inch pitch is suitable for general-purpose digital and analog signals. Consider the through-hole termination method for high mechanical stability. Evaluate the flange mounting style if panel-level attachment is preferred over board-only retention.

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. The 345-028 variant specifically addresses applications needing a moderate density connection with secure mechanical locking via flanges. It complements other models in the family by providing a standardized footprint for dual-sided card integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 345 series connectors with identical 28-position counts and matching pitch dimensions. Verify that alternative parts support the same 0.100-inch spacing and dual female contact arrangement. Ensure any replacement maintains the through-hole termination style and compatible flange mounting features.
