346-034-540-803

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 346-034-540-803 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 346 series. It features 34 positions with a 3.175 mm (0.125 inch) contact spacing. Designed for dual-edge card insertion, it utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. The unit supports a through-hole vertical mounting style and accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing durability and insulation.

• Vertical through-hole termination for PCB integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronics modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm contact plating, termination type, and insulator color. Ensure the selected variant matches the required board thickness and mounting orientation for your specific PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge configuration is required for the application. Confirm that the 3.175 mm pitch aligns with the mating card edge dimensions. Verify that the through-hole vertical form factor fits within the available mechanical envelope and height restrictions of the assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 346 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. This specific model provides a mid-range pin count suitable for moderate density interconnect needs within industrial and commercial electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 346 series variants for different pin counts or termination styles. Verify compatibility with mating cards having identical 0.125 inch spacing and 1.57 mm thickness specifications.
