355-080-500-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 355-080-500-202 is an 80-position female edgeboard connector designed for dual-edge card applications. It features a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Termination is achieved via solder eyelets, ensuring secure board attachment. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and finished with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector configuration for standard PC board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Solder eyelet termination method for robust PCB mounting
• Low-profile insulator body design for space-constrained assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Applications
