345-044-559-412

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-044-559-412 is a standard single-row card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 44 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 3 A current. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, operating from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-edge female contact configuration for non-specified card insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability and insulation
• Through-hole termination supports secure PCB integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical device circuit boards needing high reliability
• Aerospace and defense electronic assemblies
• Automotive electronics in harsh environments

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pin count, contact finish, and mounting style. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for proper engagement. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 44-position connection is required with a standard 2.54 mm pitch. It is suitable for applications demanding gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance. Consider the vertical through-hole mounting profile and the specific board thickness tolerance during mechanical design integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options for general-purpose interconnect needs. The 345 series is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics where reliable signal transfer is critical.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC documentation for direct cross-reference substitutes. Verify that any alternative maintains identical pitch, position count, and contact material specifications to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
