357-019-554-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 357-019-554-103 is a standard card edge connector belonging to the 357 series. It features 38 positions with a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). Designed for vertical mounting, it accommodates board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a finish thickness of 10.0 µin (0.25 µm). Termination is achieved via solder eyelets for through-hole installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure card insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Vertical orientation supports standard PCB assembly workflows
• Solder eyelet termination provides robust mechanical and electrical connection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring durable interconnects
• Medical equipment interfaces demanding high reliability
• Communication infrastructure hardware modules
• Consumer electronics internal board connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific position count and termination style against the official datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the target PCB design matches the specified board thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Ensure the vertical mounting orientation aligns with the system layout requirements. Check for any recent product change notifications that may affect material specifications or packaging details.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 38 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch is suitable for standard density applications. The gold plating offers corrosion resistance for long-term stability. Consider the vertical form factor if space constraints prohibit horizontal mounting. Verify compatibility with the mating card's edge guide and retention mechanisms.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 357 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its 0.156 inch pitch and black thermoplastic polyester housing. It is designed for general-purpose electronic applications across various industries including industrial, medical, and communications sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 357-018-554-103 (36 positions) and 357-028-545-101 (28 positions). Cross-series replacements require verification of pitch, board thickness, and termination method compatibility.
