345-047-542-658

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-047-542-658 is a card edge connector from the 345 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 47 positions with a female contact type and a single-edge configuration. The connector utilizes a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and accepts PCBs with a thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, housed in green thermoplastic polyester insulation. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

• Telecommunications equipment
• Computing hardware interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct pin count, plating thickness, and flange configuration. Confirm that the single-edge specification matches the target PCB design requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS status and environmental compliance data provided in the latest official documentation to meet regulatory standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, high-density connection is required for standard thickness cards. Ensure the mating card thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070-inch range. Consider the through-hole mounting style and the need for gold-plated contacts if corrosion resistance or low contact impedance is critical for the application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of card edge connectors, which are widely used in various industries for board-to-board or backplane connections. The series offers multiple position counts and configurations, including single and double edges. The 345-047-542-658 specifically addresses applications requiring 47 positions in a single-edge format with robust mechanical and electrical performance characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 345/395 series datasheet for direct cross-references. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mating card dimensions when considering alternative part numbers from the same series or other manufacturers.
