345-054-525-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 345-054-525-208 is a standard card edge connector from the 345 series, designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features 54 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize solder termination. Rated for 3 A current, this single-edge female connector is housed in a green thermoplastic polyester body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation for standard through-hole PCB assembly
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Single-edge configuration with 54 contact positions

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment
• Medical interconnect solutions

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct termination style and housing color match your design requirements. Confirm that the 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility aligns with your PCB specifications. Check RoHS compliance documentation for regulatory adherence in restricted substances applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 54-position vertical interface is required. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the 3 A current rating per contact. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch for standard spacing constraints. Verify that the single-edge card type matches the mating connector geometry.

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 options. The 345-054-525-208 specifically provides a high-density solution with 54 contacts, suitable for applications requiring robust mechanical stability and electrical performance in vertical configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and position counts but different termination or housing colors, such as 345-054-525-407. Cross-series replacements like the 395 series may offer similar electrical characteristics but require verification of mechanical dimensions and flange configurations.
