345-030-520-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-030-520-502 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 345 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 30 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold plating thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). The insulator is green thermoplastic polyester, supporting board thicknesses between 0.054" and 0.070". Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator housing
• Through-hole solder termination method

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• General electronic circuit board interconnections
• Industrial control system modules
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact plating and flange specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project regulations. Check lead times directly with authorized distributors, as standard delivery periods may vary based on current manufacturing schedules and regional availability constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge interface is required with a standard 2.54mm pitch. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37mm to 1.78mm range. Verify that the application environment remains within the -40°C to 105°C operating temperature limits for optimal performance and longevity of the connector assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various pin counts and configurations for diverse electronic applications. The 345-030 variant specifically provides a 30-position interface, balancing connectivity density with physical footprint constraints common in mid-size electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 345 series connectors with matching 30-pin dual-edge specifications. Verify identical pitch, board thickness tolerance, and termination style before substitution. Cross-reference with manufacturer cross-indexing guides for exact functional equivalents.
