345-100-520-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 345-100-520-504 is a dual-edge card edge connector designed for board-to-board or backplane applications. It features 100 positions with female contacts and a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) mating pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission and is housed in green thermoplastic polyester insulation. It supports a current rating of 3 A and operates within a temperature range up to +105°C, offering high insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm contact plating thickness and housing material variations. Ensure compatibility with standard 0.100-inch pitch card edges. Confirm that the thermal rating meets the operational requirements of the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection is required for 100-position interfaces. Consider the 3 A current rating and +105°C maximum operating temperature for suitability in moderate thermal environments. Evaluate the need for gold plating versus tin alternatives based on corrosion resistance requirements and cycle life expectations for the specific deployment scenario.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of card edge connectors, which are widely used in modular electronic designs. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 345-100 variant specifically addresses high-density connectivity needs while maintaining standard spacing dimensions common in legacy and modern industrial electronics architectures.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC 345-100-520-204 and 345-100-521-504, provided the housing material and termination specifications align with system requirements. Verify pin count and pitch compatibility before substitution.
