346-100-560-812

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 346-100-560-812 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 100 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.175 mm (0.125 inch) contact pitch and is designed for vertical through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards with a maximum thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and finished with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission, supporting a current rating of 3 A. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, providing structural integrity and environmental resistance for industrial applications.
