345-038-544-658

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-038-544-658 is a standard card edge connector designed for single-edge board applications. It features 38 positions with a female contact type and a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C. This through-hole component supports non-specified single-edge cards with a thickness range of 0.054" to 0.070".

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-edge configuration with female contacts for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy terminals ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides thermal stability up to 105°C

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Consumer electronics circuit boards
• Industrial control system modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and mounting style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB panel thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches project requirements. Cross-reference distributor part numbers to avoid sourcing errors.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector for single-sided card edge applications requiring a 2.54mm pitch. Verify that the mating board thickness falls within the specified 1.37mm to 1.78mm range. Consider the through-hole termination method for assembly processes. Evaluate the operating temperature range against environmental conditions.

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 for diverse electronic interconnect needs. The 345 series is characterized by its robust construction and compatibility with standard PCB manufacturing processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC datasheet for direct cross-references. Alternative parts must match the 38-position single-edge specification and 0.100-inch pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings for interchangeability.
