345-043-520-602

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-043-520-602 is a standard single-row card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 43 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and supports a maximum board thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, ensuring reliable signal transmission. Rated for 3 A current, the unit utilizes wire wrap termination for secure PCB attachment. The housing is made of thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in vertical installations.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact finish and flange configuration. Ensure the target application requires a single-row interface with a 2.54 mm pitch. Confirm that the printed circuit board thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements for the destination market before finalizing the purchase order.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row card edge interface is required for vertical mounting. The 43-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density within a narrow footprint. Consider the wire wrap termination style if automated press-fit or solder wave processes are not utilized. Evaluate the thermal operating range of -40 C to +105 C against environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to accommodate different board densities. Components in this family share common mechanical dimensions and material properties, facilitating interchangeability within design constraints while allowing customization through specific ordering codes.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts by matching the 43-position count, single-row layout, and 2.54 mm pitch. Verify that substitute components support the same 1.57 mm board thickness and vertical orientation. Ensure the replacement maintains the wire wrap termination style and equivalent current rating.
