Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact configuration and flange options. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness and card guide requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 41-position connection is required with a 2.54 mm pitch. Consider the vertical orientation and wire wrap termination for prototyping or low-volume production. Evaluate the operating temperature range and current rating against system load requirements before finalizing the design.

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 styles. The 345-041 variant specifically addresses applications needing 41 connections in a compact vertical profile, utilizing durable materials for repeated insertion cycles.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 345 series parts for alternative pin counts or termination types. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings match before substituting with generic equivalents.
