346-005-540-658

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 346-005-540-658 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring five positions with a 0.125-inch (3.175 mm) contact spacing and single row configuration. Designed for vertical through-hole mounting, it utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). It employs wire wrap termination for secure electrical connections and is housed in a green thermoplastic polyester body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts standard 0.062 inch thick PCBs
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts
• Vertical through-hole installation style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• General electronic equipment interconnections
• Industrial control systems
• Communication hardware modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and termination type against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the PCB thickness matches the 0.062-inch specification to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Ensure the vertical orientation aligns with the assembly layout constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, low-pin-count connection is required for standard thickness boards. The wire wrap termination suits prototyping or applications where soldering is not preferred. Consider the vertical profile for space-constrained enclosures. Verify that the current rating and voltage specifications meet the system's operational demands.
