345-098-524-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-098-524-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 345 series, designed for dual female connections with a 98-position count. It features a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a 10.0µin (0.25µm) plating thickness. Rated for 3A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, providing insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides structural integrity and insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring high-density interconnects
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard card edge modules
• Communication equipment interfaces demanding robust thermal performance

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status prior to integration into environmentally regulated assemblies. Ensure storage conditions maintain contact integrity. Cross-reference datasheet specifications against system requirements to validate mechanical fit and electrical ratings before procurement finalization.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-sided card edge connectivity is required with a 98-pin density. The 2.54mm pitch aligns with standard PCB layouts. Verify that the target card thickness falls within the 1.37mm to 1.78mm operational window. Consider the panel mount style and right-angle orientation if space constraints dictate specific installation geometries.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 345-098-524-207 variant specifically addresses applications needing dual-edge female contacts with high pin counts. It complements other series members by providing specialized configurations for complex board-to-board or backplane interactions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include EDAC part numbers within the same 345 series offering identical 98-position dual female configurations. Verify matching pitch, current rating, and operating temperature ranges. Ensure physical dimensions and mounting hole patterns align with existing panel designs to maintain mechanical compatibility without redesign.
