345-065-520-402

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-065-520-402 is a standard card edge connector from the 345/395 series, designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features 65 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester insulation housing. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and includes flanges with top-mount openings for secure installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole mounting style with integrated flanges
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Compatible with 0.062 inch nominal thickness PCBs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and row configuration against the official EDAC datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the target application requires a single-edge connector design. Ensure the PCB thickness matches the specified 1.57 mm tolerance. Check for any updated environmental compliance certifications required by the destination market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density vertical connection is required for standard thickness boards. The 65-position layout supports complex signal routing in compact spaces. Consider the operating temperature range if the environment exceeds standard commercial limits. Verify mechanical clearance for the flange diameter during panel layout.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series, which offers a comprehensive range of card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its robust construction and compatibility with various board thicknesses. The 345-065-520-402 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a higher position count while maintaining standard pitch dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 345 series parts with matching position counts and termination styles. Cross-reference with manufacturer-approved alternative part numbers to ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility.
