357-033-441-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 357-033-441-104 is a standard card edge connector from the 357 series, designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a dual-edge female configuration with 66 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are tin-plated copper alloy, housed in a black thermoplastic polyester body. It supports board thicknesses of 1.57 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Vertical panel mount style with flangeless design
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Embedded computing board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required contact plating and board thickness specifications. Confirm that the dual-edge female configuration aligns with the target PCB design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 66-position interface is required for vertical panel integration. Ensure the target application accommodates the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness constraints. Verify that the tin-plated contact finish meets the environmental and mating cycle requirements of the specific deployment scenario.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 357 series of standard card edge connectors, which offers various position counts and mounting styles. The series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic polyester construction and standardized 3.96 mm pitch, providing a versatile solution for connecting edge-board modules to parent systems in compact electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts like 357-033-521-104 or 357-033-441-201, provided they match the 66-position count and dual-edge female specification. Always cross-reference the contact plating and housing color codes to ensure functional equivalence.
