357-007-457-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 357-007-457-102 is a standard card edge connector featuring 14 positions with dual female contacts. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 5.08 mm row spacing. Designed for vertical panel mounting, it accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed in a thermoplastic polyester insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Vertical panel mount installation style for structural stability
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment utilizing EDAC medical interconnect solutions
• Agricultural technology applications in harsh environments

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm exact pin count and termination type. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical design requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern for the application.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row connection is required for a 14-position interface. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between signal lines. Consider the vertical orientation for panel integration rather than direct board-to-board mating. Verify that the gold plating meets the environmental durability needs of the deployment site.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 357 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. These connectors are engineered for durability in demanding sectors such as medical and agricultural technologies. The 357 series provides a standardized solution for high-reliability electronic interconnections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 357-series variants for different pin counts. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance. Ensure the replacement also supports vertical panel mounting and dual female contacts.
