345-030-558-408

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. part number 345-030-558-408 is a standard card edge connector from the 345 series, designed for single-edge board applications. It features 30 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 3 A current. It employs wire wrap termination and supports through-hole mounting in a right-angle configuration. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, ensuring an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms and reliable operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female contact design compatible with non-specified single-edge PCBs
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure stable electrical performance
• Wire wrap termination method facilitates secure circuit connections
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability and high insulation resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Medical device interconnect solutions
• Agricultural technology equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and REACH registration details before procurement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required panel mount or through-hole installation style. Ensure the target application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operational temperature range. Cross-reference the 30-position count and 2.54 mm pitch against the mechanical drawing to guarantee proper fitment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-edge connection is required for 1.57 mm thick boards. The 30-position capacity suits moderate-density signal routing needs. Choose this model over dual-row variants if space constraints limit access to only one side of the PCB. Verify that the wire wrap termination capability aligns with the available assembly tools and processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors, which are engineered for robust industrial and commercial environments. The series offers various position counts and mounting options to accommodate diverse PCB designs. As a single-edge connector, it differs from dual-edge counterparts by providing contact access on only one side of the board, simplifying mechanical integration in specific chassis layouts.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 345 series parts with matching 30-position counts and 2.54 mm pitch, such as 345-030-558-403. Verify that alternative models maintain the same single-edge configuration and wire wrap termination style to ensure functional equivalence without mechanical redesign.
